SUMMARY

I would like to provide a dreamy self-loving massage for every client. My ultimate massage would be to provide a deeply relaxing body work session that provides a safe space where soft tissue problems can be addressed. My massages provide specific small-muscle treatment and broad gliding strokes that encourage deep relaxation, efficient blood and lymph flow, and breathwork (if desired).

WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGE UNIQUE

My massage is unique in my use of forearms. I feel that the spiritual side of Lomi Lomi goes to the bones and my attention to the whole person. I love to be an agent of safety and personal growth. I also work with energy and the use of crystals, hot or salt stones and essential oils gives a full sensory and energetic experience for the client.

SUCCESS STORY

One of my favorite success stories is about helping a client who came to me with a migraine headache. She received my Swedish, Mana Lomi mixed massage with the added benefit of hot towels to her feet. I had learned in massage school that sometimes this technique works by drawing blood away from the shoulders, neck, and head. When she got off the table, she delightedly announced that her migraine was gone. I love this story as it demonstrates that the little things can
make a big difference when it comes to massage and the human body!

WHAT DO YOU APPRECIATE MOST ABOUT RECEIVING A MASSAGE

I appreciate a Therapist's experience and ability to help me heal, relax, feel safe and observe my requests.

WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE

Developing my interests keeps me passionate, as well as, working with other Therapists and clients who value my passions. Also, self-care and sharing that with them.
