Massage is a passion for me and I love the work I do, which is reflective in the quality of that work.  I prefer deep tissue/therapeutic massage work and sessions over 90 minutes wherever possible.  I love the time to really make sure I'm working on all the connections in the soft tissue as well as taking time to warm up the tissues.  That means that even though my pressure and work can be deep-tissue, the massage still has a component of relaxation and comfort.   I pride myself on being intuitive in mapping the body, observant, detailed, compassionate, invested and overall just a mindful and caring therapist. I love the art and the science sides of massage and have a knack for finding the patterns of dysfunction in the body and accordingly the ways that I can help my clients unwind them.  I also have been told I have a "healing presence" a "perfect energy for a massage therapist" and that I create a really nurturing and also laid-back environment for my clients where they feel very comfortable and also very heard (and sometimes a little humored.) I've repeatedly received feedback that my massage services were the best my client's have ever experienced and that I was very knowledgeable. Personal things about me:  I am a CEO/ business partner at Rose and Lotus Massage as well as one of the therapists here that sincerely enjoys their job. My fiance, Rocky (fellow LMT and my partner in business) and I have a beautiful blended family with 5 kids between us and 3 pups! I live and breathe for our family and I hope to have the fellow therapists become a part of that family also. Our vision starting this business was to treat our therapists and pay our therapists amazing so they always are happy and offer great services. I try to leave places a little better than when I found them and have a background in permaculture. Permaculture's model is "earth care, people care, fair share" meaning-everything works in symbiosis for a better world. That's why we created this business so that we could change the lives of our therapists and our clients for the better.
