In 2007, I earned my Associate's in Occupational Studies at New York College of Health Professions. I was honored to study among the most accomplished and brilliant chiropractors, neurologists, medical doctors, osteopaths, and massage therapists in New York. At NYCHP, my focus on Eastern and Western modalities for whole-body wellness influences my work today. Integrating acupressure points, intuitive massage, and a deep understanding of human anatomy has enhanced the healing process for my clients.
Upon graduation, I began working at a Wellness Center where I gained hands-on experience working with a diverse clientele. I took extensive training in advanced techniques, which broadened my scope of practice.
During that time, I became more interested in the clinical/medical application of massage and its benefits. I decided to devote my time to learning how to distinguish myself from the relaxing "spa" massage and into a deeply effective medical massage. To achieve this, I learned to approach the body as a whole, with the knowledge that everything in the body is connected.
The types of massages I practice are Medical, Neuromuscular, Acupressure, Reflexology, Sports, Pre/Postnatal, Deep Tissue, Swedish, Trigger Point, Myofascial Release, and Reiki. I incorporate these techniques into your massage to help further your healing process.
Thirteen years ago, I had the opportunity to open Spicewood Medical Massage. I have watched it grow into a place of healing, learning, and community. With so many choices out there, I feel grateful for my referral-based clientele. Having integrated with other health providers, Spicewood Medical Massage is part of a network dedicated to your health and wellness.
I am proud to operate my business just South of Austin. It’s a wonderful place to call home. I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors with my family and our three dogs.
