WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGES UNIQUE?

“I have a gentle, client-centered massage. Even when I do deep tissue work my approach is gentle, allowing clients to breathe into and relax into the work. I believe relaxation is a critical part of all work, even treatment work. I work carefully to make sure clients' needs are met within their comfort level.”
