In 2013, I graduated from Virginia College with an Associate Degree of Applied Science in Therapeutic Massage. Since 2014, I have worked as a licensed massage therapist and I specialize in Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and prenatal massage. Each massage is customized to the therapeutic goals and needs of each client individually. However, I share a common amongst all clients. It is my goal to promote body awareness, facilitate relaxation and provide a safe moment for all clients to be present in the moment and in their bodies. I believe it is important to take time for you. Unfortunately, I know all to well how easy it is to feel like everyone else is more of a priority than you. I am here to tell you, they aren't. If there's a low cabin pressure incident on a plane, you are instructed to put your mask on first. This is because if you put your mask on first, you are then able to help others. But if you were to try and help someone else first there's a possibility that you can both pass out from lack of oxygen. It is important that we take care of ourselves, even if it is so others can have the best version of us. It's deeper than massage, it is also becoming aware of how we move throughout our lives and making conscious adjustments in our daily living. For you that could mean adjusting body mechanics, maintaining proper posture, stretching, drinking more water, less computer time, more alone time or just getting frequent bodywork as opposed to once a year or when you are in discomfort. Whatever puts you on the path to optimal well being, I would love to be a part of the process.
