SUMMARY
My approach to Massage Therapy is holistic, preventive care, pain management and whole body/mind relaxation. Touch is so very personal and each person's experience is so very unique. I flow through each specialized session with both long connecting touch to firmer/deeper body work, as needed, with the degree of depth approved by the client. My favorite areas to work with: Feet, hands, arms, neck and shoulders.
WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGE UNIQUE?
I have a great combination of gentleness and depth. I have a great ability to connect with a variety of conditions.
SUCCESS STORY?
I have a 93 yr. old client that I have been working with for 13 years. When we first started her treatments, she had bi-monthly sessions, she now has weekly sessions and she tells me that I am what keeps her pain free, mobile and she jokingly says "Alive"'!
WHAT DO YOU APPRECIATE WHEN RECEIVING A MASSAGE?
Good communications, non-chatty Therapists with a comfortable environment. I like leaving feeling better than when we began.
WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE?
I feel that I am my "Authentic Self" in this work. I enjoy meeting and helping people and the environment of the Therapy Rooms brings me peace.
