PHILOSOPHY ON HEALING: I strongly believe that each person has their own body’s natural self-healing mechanisms. In my session, I focus on being present with my clients, directly engaging the body and creating specific treatment plans to assist the healing process. I love helping people by easing stress and alleviating pain through massage and seeing their smiles at the end of each session. Also, constantly learning about the human body and its mechanisms fascinates me; it makes me want to learn more about the healing powers of massage.

EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS: One of my regular clients showed up with lingering pain in his hip area. He complained that it gets worse when he plays golf. I listened to his body through the Visceral Manipulation technique and did some treatments with the modalities I learned in the class. Visceral Manipulation is a very gentle hands-on technique with subtle movement, yet it is a very powerful technique. After the first session, he felt much better; however, he still came back with pain in the same area a couple of weeks later but with lesser pain. After a few sessions, the pain was gradually alleviated and he didn’t have any more problems in his hip. I was so amazed and happy to witness that his body was shifting to try to heal itself and came back to its optimal state.
