PHILOSOPHY ON HEALING:

What I love about massage is that it is a great way to help people reach their ideal state of being. Every body has a specific alignment of bones, muscles, fascia, and organs. A deviation from that ideal state can lead to suffering on a physical, emotional and even psychological level. Massage is excellent for relaxing deviated muscles and fascia, reducing suffering as a natural consequence.

EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS:

I had an elderly female client who requested that I work on her ribs because they were feeling tight. She said she wasn’t sure if ribs could be worked on, and I reassured her that it was possible. After one session of working her ribs, diaphragm, pecs, and neck muscles, she stated in the next session that not only did her ribs not hurt anymore, but she could breathe much easier with her rib cage feeling much more open.

I also have a special passion for breath, shoulder, hip and calf work. I have had good success treating cricks in the neck, along with knee pain, calf pain, and calf cramps.
