I specialize in clinical massage and deep tissue therapy. In addition to being a licensed massage therapist I am trained and certified in several manual, orthopedic techniques, including orthopedic assessment and treatment, myofascial trigger point therapy, muscle activation techniques, PNF and flexibility/mobility training.

I can treat individuals suffering from muscle and soft tissue pain and disfunction, muscular neuropathy (nerve compression/impingement) and other physiopatholgies. I also offer traditional massage modalities.

My practice is now located in Aanandha Well at 217 South Duke Street, Shepherdstown WV. Once you arrive, please make yourself comfortable in the waiting room. I will be out to welcome you into the treatment room at your appointed time. Please, do not enter the treatment areas as I will likely finishing with another client.
24 hour notice cancelation policy: An ABSOLUTE MINIMUM of 24 hours must be given in order to reschedule, alter or cancel any appointment. Many of my clients, many of whom deal with chronic pain, are homebound and need advanced notice to arrange transportation. Please be considerate of them and all of my clients who faithfully show up for their appointments.
- If your session is at 8:30am, I need to hear from you on or before 8:30am the day prior. The only exceptions given are in the event of severe weather, a family/medical, or automotive emergency(an accident or mechanical failure). The therapist reserves the right to enforce the policy and by agreeing to this waiver you agree to pay 100% of any fees obligated to once the appointment is booked in the event that you fail to provide adequate notice.
- Sessions booked within 24 hours of their appointed time are exempt from this policy.
- In the event that the therapist misses your appointment, not withstanding the aforementioned reasons, when your session is rescheduled it will be free of charge to you.
Mask Policy: Masking is now optional, but strongly encouraged. I am also happy to mask up upon request.
Sexual Harassment/Solicitation: The scope of this massage practice is just that, massage; only massage for the skeletal muscle. ANY solicitation or suggestion for any service sexual in nature will result in the IMMEDIATE termination of your service. Solicitation for a sex act(prostitution) is illegal in West Virginia, and ALL instances have been and will be reported to the police and full cooperation will be given to the authorities in the investigation. Termination of a session will entail its full charge.
Inappropriate Exposure to the therapist: The therapist will only undrape the areas of the body he is immediately working on, with exception to the head. It is WV Massage Board Regulation that two layers of draping will be used over a client. Draping IS NOT optional. *****If you intentionally expose your breasts, genitals, or buttocks to the therapist, the remainder of your time is forfeit; your treatment will be immediately concluded and you will be charged for your session in full and reported to the police for indecent exposure. *****
Punctuality: Clients are responsible for arriving on time to their appointments. Often clients are booked consecutively and I cannot guarantee that you will receive your full time if you arrive late.
Gift Treatments: If you are purchasing/arranging a treatment for someone else, note that they MUST fill out their own health intake form and waiver. The therapist can be held liable for complications that may occur during a medical emergency during a session, and will therefore not treat anyone who doesn’t have a form filled out.
