When I was 17 years old, I was in the trenches of dancing competitively and pushing my body to it's limits and I never understood why I felt so muscularly imbalanced. I learned that I had thoracic scoliosis, which led me down a road of learning about body care which included stretching, yoga and Massage. For the last 8 years, I've been fortunate enough to gain experience doing what I love, which is learning more about our body and how it responds to different qualities of touch. I challenge the belief that deep tissue needs to hurt in order to be effective, or that massage that doesn't hurt is not deep.
