Massage is a type of health care that requires trust. Let me earn yours.
As far back as high school, massage was a passion of mine. As soon as I was old enough, I went to massage school, and have since enjoyed over 30 years of independent, full-time practice working in concert with doctors and other healthcare professionals.
Therapeutic massage allows me to enjoy a physically active professional environment, where I have one-on-one contact with great people. Together, we problem-solve the pain and tension they are feeling, and I get to make a positive impact on the world around me, one person at a time!
One of the biggest challenges to my practice came in 2007, when I was hit head-on by a drunk driver. This accident caused some permanent nerve damage to my hands, and I opted to get creative! After some retraining time, I came back stronger than ever by using my feet to do about 70-80% of my work.
Legs are stronger than hands, the pressure is broad and even more comfortable, and you, as the client, get about 50% more body coverage per session than I was previously able to provide with hands alone.
Over the past 20+ years, I've taken a variety of classes and trained in different types of massage. This, along with the practical experience I've had, gives me LOTS of tools to utilize during our sessions. If something doesn't work as well for you, there's always another option, another idea, another solution.
Some things I've done:
Taught at a local massage school.
Worked within businesses to help them lower injury rates.
Assisted clients during labor and delivery at the hospital.
Facilitated in recovery from injuries as intense as a broken pelvis or back.
Aided in post-surgical recuperation from joint replacements.
Helped to manage pain from illnesses like MS, cancer, and fibromyalgia.
As part of my commitment to quality, my massage is GUARANTEED.
If you don't feel improvement by the time you get off the table, you don't pay. It's that simple.
Also, I actively support the Lesbian / Gay / Bi / Transgender / Queer (LGBTQ) community, and I've the pleasure of calling many within that community my business associates, friends, and family. Please expect tolerance, kindness, and compassion when visiting.
