The therapeutic healing power of massage therapy continues to motivate me. With fifteen-plus years of hands-on experience and professional accreditations, I am more passionate than ever about the proven benefits of pain-relieving, result-based bodywork. As an insured MMP (Medical Massage Practitioner) and structural myoskeletal alignment specialist, I am trained and licensed to use advanced techniques to locate and assist in the repair of soft tissue injuries and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms.

I see an array of clients from the safe privacy of my home space. I've worked in massage businesses over the years that cram in clients to meet quotas, and that's not for me. I specialize in offering customized sessions, tailored to each client's individual needs. I am accurate, conservative with my approach, and thorough, which all require time and for pace not to be rushed. You want an additional 30 minutes blocked off with my appointments due to intake and post care. Through assessment I get to know the goals of my clients and work on a treatment plan that offers care, compassion and, always, an intent to heal.

Why medical massage?

Medical Massage does not refer to a specific technique, but instead refers to a method of work. Medical Massage Practitioners accept doctors' referrals, work with patients rather than just clients, and bill insurance when appropriate. Day Spas and franchises generally do not participate in medical massage therapy. Although we are trained in Spa complimentary modalities and those are sometimes included, we are known to be result focused. The greatest benefit for a patient is efficiency of treatment.
