  1. Pain management, I became a massage therapist to help relieve pain for my clients so that they can enjoy a better quality of life. Having experienced chronic pain myself, I know how debilitating it can be.

  2. Injury rehabilitation, My goal is to help people recover faster so they can keep moving and grooving, and doing what they love. Even minor injuries can lead to pain and compensation patterns. Massage can prevent or interrupt the formation of the patterns that often develop due to tightness or weakness after injuries. Clinical massage especially enhances physical therapy results, and the Neuromuscular techniques I practice were developed with these goals in mind.

  3. Headaches,  I used to have chronic headaches and massage is part of why I don’t suffer from them now! Head, neck, and jaw massage treats headaches. Since the same thing that treats it prevents it, regular massage helps reduce headache severity and frequency, even migraines and cluster headaches.

  4. TMJD, or Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, Jaw tension, clenching or grinding your teeth, orthodontia, recent dental work, or oral surgery can all cause jaw pain. Intra-oral massage is a game changer for this type of pain.

  5. Thai massage, Thai massage is like having yoga done to you. You keep your clothes on, and attempt to become a rag doll. Runners love it. Anyone with back pain loves it. People who don’t like the feel of lotion, or who don’t like disrobing love it. I also love it! It may be my favorite type of massage. I incorporate neuromuscular approaches into Thai that really effectively targets the low back and hip pain.

I won’t see anyone else. She is the best for TMJ and chronic pain. She’s a literal lifesaver.

She truly works to address the issue. She doesn't merely hear your concerns and then do the pre-programmed routine. She works to meet the individual needs of the client.
