Woodland has been my home for most of my life and I absolutely love it here.  I especially love being downtown and owning my little business where I have the opportunity to apply my skills and experience in helping people achieve their goals.  I have been a massage therapist and a student of pain and touch science for almost ten years.  I am also a former chronic pain sufferer who has found significant relief from massage therapy.  I understand how feeling good is so important to our health and success and I know how chronic pain can have a traumatic impact on everything about our lives such as our physical activities, our mental health and our relationships.        Massage can be very helpful in getting our brain and body to develop a more positive connection and awareness.  It can help to calm the nervous system which sends us "pain messages" which are interpretted as dangerous and alarming.  There is evidence that therapeutic touch can also help reduce stress, anxiety and depression by stimulating the release of helpful chemicals that our bodies produce naturally.       I would like to welcome you to my treatment studio which I've created to be a quiet and comfortable place where all bodies are welcome.
