My fascination and interest in massage therapy came about in the early 1970's when I was incapacitated with nerve pain in my shoulder and arm. It was truly a marvel to me that a single massage session could relieve so much of my pain! Up until that time, there had been many doctor visits, talk of pain killers and muscle relaxers as a "band aid fix" for the pain and discomfort I was experiencing.

          And so I began to explore other alternative means for health and recovery. My primary goals for years has been to fine tune my skills and increase my knowledge and education so that I may stay on the cutting edge of massage therapy. 

          Working along side chiropractors and physical therapists has been a wonderful opportunity, in that these professionals have always been willing to guide and share their expertise in an effort to enhance patient recovery.

          It is one of my passions to guide and share my expertise with professionals in the bodywork field.  Additionally, I work with non-professionals in small group sessions to help them care for family members and loved ones.
