Appraise...Restructure...Re-Establish...Nourish.

Working with thousands of clients, I find that most of us experience structural pain that would benefit from support that massage alone cannot address. As a result, I extend Cell Appraisals to your personalized bodywork care. Please reach out if you wish to be one of the first 10 people to receive my introductory offer. Thank you.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I have been helping clients through Clinical Massage and bodywork for over eleven years, using different advanced massage modalities like:

-Visceral Manipulation that addresses organ rebalancing (beneficial if you’ve ever had a kid or abdominal surgery),

-Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy,

-Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy,

-Oncology Massage,

-Myofascial Release Therapy,

-Pre-Natal & Fertility Massage,

-Reflexology (2006) and more. 

I attended the Northern Virginia Community College Clinical Massage Program and became licensed with the Virginia State Board of Nurses in 2013. I have spent over eighteen years honing my integrative Health and Wellness skills to bring relief to the body naturally.

My skill as a healer began before my birth with the generation of female healers in my family. As a kid, I watched helplessly as my grandfather cried from the pain that resulted due to diabetic complications; later, my dad suffered from kidney insufficiency, and now my mom with arthritis. I couldn’t do much, if anything, for my grandpa and dad, but for my mom, yes. I chose to make a change to the quality of life she lives, and this was my drive to study “Wholistic Nutrition.”

I received my degree in Food Technology (1989) and Clinical Massage Therapy (2013) and have since completed several trainings in Advanced Bodywork Therapies, Holistic and Functional Nutrition, and Cell Appraisal training from various institutions to make up for that “Wholistic Nutrition” training and skill building.

I am highly trained to bring in different massage tools to help address your pain and stress-related issues that are due to chronic overuse or tissue restriction. Issues like pelvic or butt pain, lower back pain, pain between shoulder blades, headache, migraines, tight muscles, multiple joint pain, muscle loss, rib pain, chronic fatigue, and tiredness.

My genetic makeup works against me, so rigorous exercise is out for me, but it doesn’t have to be for you. I have learned ways to balance and care for my body, and I can teach you to do the same.

When massage is combined with targeted nutrition for your self-care, improving your health becomes easy to manage. My goal is to help you relax, improve circulation and nutrient absorption, and increase cell and tissue function so you can reduce or manage your pain and continue doing the things you love.
