My own personal struggle with chronic back pain introduced me to the therapeutic benefits of massage. I was skeptical at first. But after a few sessions I experienced a reduction in pain. Surprisingly, after a couple of months the therapeutic massage treatments improved my mobility and to a degree, my quality of life. When I needed a career change, I chose massage therapy, because I wanted to help others in the way I had been helped. I obtained my education at, Shawnee Community College, and I have been a licensed Massage Therapist for the past 8 years. I specialize in working with clients with chronic pain; using stretching, cupping therapy, and advanced massage techniques.
