Always knowing I wanted to help others feel their best I started off wanting to go into physical therapy. I worked years alongside of some very skilled Physical and Occupational Therapists before realizing I really wanted to be a Massage Therapist. Luckily by working in that area of healthcare was not a waste. By doing so I gained a knowledge that has been extremely valuable in my work as a Massage Therapist. The way I work... I have been a Massage Therapist for almost 15 years and I am trained in a variety of modalities and techniques. As a therapist that focuses on what the client is in need of at each session I use the years and training to customize each and every session to those needs. Sometimes what our bodies need isn't defined by a specific modality and often takes a combination of techniques at different times during the session to get the results the client is looking for. I charge for time not for specific modalities for that specific reason. That leaves me the freedom to work the way the clients body leads. So because I have training in many different types of therapeutic massage techniques and modalities I use a melting pot philosophy in my work. Depending on what a client comes into the clinic complaining about I may combine some craniosacral therapy, myofascial release and deep tissue techniques together to help them reduce the frequency and intensity of their headaches/migraines. We may focus more on calming a clients central nervous system at the same time we are working their restriction in their shoulder. Each client is different and deserves to have the focus on them that best uses the time we have for that session. And just as each client is different, that same client is different from one session to the next. Therefore we need to work together and best target the goals that is going give that client the results they are looking for that day.
