Debbie has a holistic, trauma-informed, therapeutic approach to massage that is uniquely tailored to each client.  She holds a BS in Mental Health and Human Services from Franciscan University and has been a dance teacher and choreographer for over twenty-five years.  She discovered massage through  her own struggles with pain due to hypermobility and in 2020  obtained her license to practice bodywork in Virginia. Her client-led sessions begin with functional assessments and blend the art and science of dynamic movement with bodywork techniques. The goal of functional bodywork is to find the source of pain and restore natural function though breathwork, therapeutic touch, movement and sensory awareness.
