I became a myofascial and massage therapist in order to help people get healthier while feeling better. It began with the scientific application of back massage in nursing school, noting that massage has non-toxic and intrinsically supportive healing qualities. Later, as part of my wellness practice , people asked for pain relief so that they could accomplish their health goals. I began studying and implementing bodywork and fitness training into that practice.Soon, clients made leaps and bounds in their goals, and my practice filled with more satisfied customers! A hands-on healing session, with me, whether myofascial release, massage, Reiki or fitness training, involves a very real personal connection, and utilizes information at all levels of awareness. I am most passionate about promoting health in ways that are sustainable, fun and scientifically-based.. Given my broad education and experience, I am most qualified to work with issues of pain, stress, inflammation, cancer, and difficulty moving. I help people get back to a vitality which makes life more enjoyable and satisfying.
