Welcome!

It seems as though I have been massaging people my whole life. As a child I remember massaging my grandmother's back as she stood hunched over washing dishes every day.  And I clearly remember rubbing my mom's feet after a long day of work - even to the point of using a hammer to try to tap her bunions back into place!  While they both said I had very strong therapeutic hands with a gentle compassionate touch, I decided to pursue a degree in Business Administration and earned my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin.  

It wasn't until after raising my three children and working in wellness clinics with physical therapists and chiropractors that I decided to pursue an education where I could get back to using my therapeutic hands to help clients who needed help with their chronic pain.  I graduated from Carolina Massage Institute and have been using my hands and feet ever since to help people not only find relief from their pain but also give them the space to help reconnect with their mind and spirit. 

I offer a custom massage using a variety of techiniques and pressure to help restore and rejuvenate tight muscles to promote self healing.  These techniques include Deep Tissue Myofascial Release Massage, Relaxing Swedish Massage, Ashiatsu (barefoot massage), Pregnancy/Postpartum massage, and Thai Massage

Therapeutic Deep Tissue Myofascial Release Massage: Slow, gradual myofascial deep tissue release designed to remove tension and relieve both muscles and connective tissues below the surface.  

Relaxing Swedish Massage:  Light relaxing Swedish massage designed to instill calmness and relieve stress and tension throughout the mind and body.

Ashiatsu: Engaging deep tissue technique utilizing my feet to provide a broader, deeper tissue massage throughout the body to relieve tension and stress. 

Nurturing the Mother Pregnancy & Postpartum Massage:  An essential relaxing massage to help relieve the discomforts associated with pregnancy and helps bring the body back into its pre-pregnancy alignment. Perfect for clients who prefer side lying massage. 

Traditional Thai Massage:  An amazing massage utilizing compression and stretching  techniques to help release blockages in the energy pathways of the body.  

What started out as a passion to help others has turned into a lifelong continuous journey of discovery and inspiration to cultivate my talent as a natural healer of the body, mind, and spirit. In my leisure time I enjoy learning new methods of massage therapy, traveling, and exploring the beautiful mountains and beaches of North Carolina.
