A Passion for Healing Through Massage

From the moment I stepped into massage school, I was captivated by the intricate workings of the human body. Under the guidance of Dr. Stan Grimmel, DC, I developed a deep appreciation for anatomy, physiology, and the remarkable ways our systems work together. This passion quickly turned into a mission: to help people move, feel, and live better through the power of therapeutic massage.

I firmly believe that massage is an essential part of a well-rounded health program; I personally commit to receiving massage as part of my own care, but beyond self-care, I recognize the importance of being an integrated part of my clients’ healthcare team. When massage therapy works in synergy with medical doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, personal trainers, and other healthcare professionals, the client benefits immensely. Through detailed SOAP notes, open communication with your other providers, and a customized treatment approach, I strive to help you overcome chronic pain and maintain a balanced, healthy body.

Specialized Techniques for Faster, Lasting Relief

After graduating from Loraine’s Academy in St. Petersburg, FL, I dedicated myself to ongoing education, earning certifications in:

Neuromuscular Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy
Medical Massage Therapy

Over time, two techniques stood out to me above all others:

Graston/IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)/Scraping

Known by many names, “scraping” techniques allow me to break down scar tissue, increase blood flow, and relieve deep-seated muscle tension without excessive pressure or discomfort.

Medical Massage Cupping

Cupping therapy promotes circulation, releases fascial restrictions, and speeds up recovery, offering deep relief without the pain associated with traditional deep tissue techniques.

These modalities help quickly and effectively target muscular imbalances, restore function, and improve mobility, so you can get back to living life without pain.

It’s Not Just Your Back!

Studies suggest that over 60% of adults experience some form of low back pain, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with:

Neck pain
Back pain
Postural imbalances

Often, the real issue isn’t just where the pain is felt, it’s a muscular imbalance pulling the body out of alignment.

Through targeted techniques, I help release overworked muscles, restore natural movement, and guide your body back to a healthier, more flexible state. You’ll be amazed at how quickly we can make measurable improvements together.
