I am not currently taking NEW CLIENTS.

Availability will be communicated to current clients several weeks before it becomes open.

The calling into massage therapy has taken me on a tour of disciplines. Each of my career path choices, from service, to my hours of pre-chiropractic study in Biological Sciences, to a Bachelors degree in Psychology has helped shape my understanding of health and wellness. And each choice has brought me into alignment with the strong, intuitive healer that I have always been.

My style of bodywork can integrate elements from several traditions, including Swedish, Thai, shiatsu, deep tissue, and myofascial release. The goal in our session is to find the right balance that will offer you therapeutic and restorative relaxation. I also continue my training with Dr. Fred Mitouer in Transformational Bodywork, addressing physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual traumas and where they continue to be held in the body.

From my own personal experience, past injuries or subconscious stress/irritation can keep the body from its normal, free-working range of motion. A release of those tensions can restore the body to its natural, joyful, pain-free balance.

I believe that an alternative solution to pharmaceutical or even surgical remedies is to view pain as a symptom; and go looking for the underlying condition. By unlocking areas of both physical and emotional trauma, we allow the body to heal and transform itself. That is the work; that is the journey.
