SUMMARY

“It brings me so much joy to be a part of a profession that places a high importance on being present for each client, being a safe place, and also a place of empowerment for each individual. I am always amazed at what can be achieved through the teamwork of a skilled, caring touch and the body's natural healing abilities. I wholeheartedly enjoy being able to improve life for others through massage!

It could be a decrease in pain that allows you to pick up your child once again, better range of motion when turning your head, or fully functioning shoulders. It could be better healing of scar tissue and muscles after surgeries, or it could even be an alternative to surgeries! There are so many possibilities with manual therapy and soft tissue manipulation. I love this profession!”

SUCCESS STORIES

“I have been fortunate to help significantly decrease pain and improve mobility in several clients so far. I worked with them to set goals we hoped to accomplish each week or month, and through massage almost every goal was met or exceeded! However, no matter the issue, pain, or dysfunction, there was always progress being made through continuous massage and treatment planning.”

WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGES UNIQUE?

“A gentle, nurturing touch is the basis of each of my sessions. I love to combine skill and science-based knowledge with intuition. I am attentive to both my client's wishes as well as what I may sense/palpate from their tissues and body. I love tailoring each session to the individual. Whatever my client feels is needed at that moment is what I strive to provide.”

WHAT DO YOU MOST APPRECIATE WHEN RECEIVING MASSAGE?

“When receiving a massage, I most appreciate when the therapist really takes the time to understand my needs and develop a plan to care for them, including informing me on all that will be done during that session. I also appreciate when they make it clear that it's a safe space for me and everything being done during that session will only be what I have requested and consented to.”

WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE?

“There is so much that keeps me passionate about this work. Mostly what keeps me passionate is the tangible way I can help someone to feel better, both in the short term and long term. Every time I am able to help relieve pain, restore function in the body, help heal injuries, or even help someone relax enough to cope with their daily stresses, my passion for this work is intensified.

Another reason is the unending and fascinating information to be learned in this profession, specifically the multitude of effective modalities and techniques for treatment, and of course the incredible research being done that provides evidence-based proof of what massage does for us!”
