My passion is to provide therapeutic treatments to address chronic pain, headaches, and neck/shoulder issues. As a therapist, my goal is to work with you to address your specific needs during each session. You will find the environment is both safe and relaxing so that you can attain the full benefit of your treatment.
Licensed since 2005, I have continued to expand my knowledge regarding headaches, pain management and maintaining optimal health. Having taken several continuing education courses, I have learned some effective techniques that address headaches, and chronic pain common to the neck and shoulder areas. For my treatments I combine myo-fascial release with neuro-muscular techniques. As a Reiki Master Therapist, I also use energy and relaxation methods to help bring the body back into balance.
In addition, I have begun to expand my knowledge in areas that can assist athletes reach their potential through muscle energy techniques and stretching. This fall I will be travelling to Kona, Hawaii for the Iron Man World Championships. While there I will perform massage on the competitors. I look forward to sharing the photos with you when I return!
Prior to massage therapy I was working in the corporate world as a recruiter. Though I enjoyed the challenges that career provided, I have found that working with individuals from a healing perspective is much more rewarding. It's something I love sharing with my family, and I look forward to working with you as well!
