In my over twenty five years of experience as a body worker, I have addressed just about every conceivable malady that a massage therapist can be presented with. I have worked with professional athletes as well as everyday injuries resulting from workplace accidents and stress related problems in the general populace. It still never ceases to amaze me just how effective massage can be in alleviating pain, stress, muscle tension and sports injuries in addition in to that feeling of well-being you take away from the experience.

My specialty is Deep Tissue Massage with a blend of other modalities including the use of Hot Stones. I call this "Stone Flow Massage". The use of Hot Stones in my massage has become an integral and vital part of all of my services. I find that the application of focused heat allows the muscles to relax more quickly, thus more effective work can be done during the session. The blending of modalities offers my clients a unique and dynamic experience.

Over the years I have developed my own technique that is a mixture of Deep Tissue, Lomi Lomi with hot stones, Trigger Point, Active Release Technique, Somatic Massage and Thai Massage complete with stretching. I have found that unlike traditional western massage, the Eastern Philosophy of massage has aspects within its historical use that address a deeper, more dynamic approach to healing the body, mind and spirit. For example, in Thai Massage the session always starts at the feet and works its way up the body, as opposed to working from the head down to the feet. In Thai Massage a systematic series of compressions and stretches are applied along each side of the body working from the feet up. Each compression and movement is in sequence to enhance the next phase of the work to be done. All of these movements happen to coincide with the direction of the body's lymphatic flow. The effect is simply amazing. This is the primary reason that I begin all of my massages from the feet and from there work up to the head and shoulders, then finally out through the fingertips. One of my key moves is working with an individuals forearms. The hands and forearms slave to the brain throughout our waking hours. The combination of physical and emotional impact on our forearms cannot be overstated. Many of my clients have remarked that after we "reboot" their hands and forearms, their arms feel longer and lighter.

I look forward to meeting and being of service to my new clients here in Wilmington. I look forward to hearing from you soon
