Hi! Thanks for visiting my page....
I got into bodywork 24 years ago -- having been undiagnosed and suffering chronic pain for many years (it was finally diagnosed as Fibromyalgia) -- when my regular bodywork appointments were the only thing that effectively decreased my chronic and grueling pain. I was grateful to work with one (amazing) therapist who was familiar with Fibromyalgia pain. She gained my trust quickly, and week after week, I felt my pain decrease (and was able to finally sleep). After a year I was able to stop the pain pills. After another year of sessions, I could finally say I was pain free. I never actually thought it would happen (my doctor told me it was only manageable then gave me the first of what would be many prescriptions, adding I should apply for disability). But when I recovered from the pain of Fibromyalgia, I knew I wanted to find a way to help others with chronic pain to get out of it, if at all possible.
As all chronic pain sufferers can tell you, chronic pain is brutal -- it wreaks havoc on every single aspect of your "life" (I used to think "What life??"). And when you're in it, it's hard to imagine there could actually come a time when you might actually be pain free.... ???
So, I did a 180 on my current path and opted to go to massage school. And since graduating 23 years ago, I've founded my practice on working with clients experiencing regular pain, helping them find the root cause (if possible), and then working to alleviate the pain by resolving it at the root level.
I've intensely studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and Western Medicine for the last two decades, utilizing these paradigms in seeing, looking at, and listening to the body's symptoms (pain being one of them) as key indicators of what's happening at the core that we need to address.
Over the decades, these are some of the issues my clients and I have had success relieving symptoms from:
Headaches ... sciatica ... TMJ/bruxism.... bulging discs.... scoliosis.... neck pain.... motor-vehicle-accident misalignments (and soft tissue damage) ... back pain... hip pain... sacroiliac pain ... sinusitis ... migraines ... digestive issues ... knee pain ... stenosis ... spondylolisthesis ... spondylosis... kyphosis (Dowager's Hump) ... anxiety ... trauma processing (PTSD/C-PTSD) ... depression ... shoulder/rotator cuff issues ... dizziness ... heart palpitations ... anger/irritability... lumbosacral joint dysfunction ... liver congestion ... chronic kidney disease ... carpal/cubital tunnel syndrome ... chronic numbness ... Sjogren's Syndrome ... TOS (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) ... scar-tissue breakdown/mobilization ... Dupuytren's contracture ... Parkinson's tremors ... BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) ...incontinence ... IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) ... OAB (Overactive Bladder) ... TNS (Text Neck Syndrome).
