Clinical Massage: Appraise...Re-Establish...Nourish.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I have been helping clients through Clinical Massage and bodywork for over 11years. If you are looking for more advanced massage treatment, not the "fluff", contact us. I work with clients over 11 years old and also support clients over 60 years looking for a more integrative bodywork and nutritional selfcare help. 

Your massage session with me is not all about the technique. But it is nice to know that each session is tailored to your need at the time of your massage. Drawing from the modalities below and the time you scheduled for your session:

-Visceral Manipulation that addresses organ rebalancing (beneficial if you’ve ever gave birth to a baby), had any abdominal surgery, gall bladder remove or heart or spine surgery. Or you are experiencing pain or tightness inside your body. I geek on this...

-Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy,

-Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy similar to Sport Massage

-Oncology Massage,

-Myofascial Release Therapy,

-Pre-Natal & Fertility Massage,

-Reflexology (2006) 

-Scar Tissue Massage. And

-Functional Nutrition

Integrating massage, bodywork and nutrition support: 

Working with 100s of clients, I find that most of us experience body pain that massage alone cannot address. For example, looking at my last blood work, the problem is, just because I fit into the statistical range of "normal" doesn't mean that I feel well. Most of us fit into this category beyond massage. As a result, client can choose to further work with me integrating tissue nutritional support. 

A little bit about how I got here. 

My skill as a healer began before my birth with the generation of female healers in my family. As a kid, I watched helplessly as my grandfather cried from pain that resulted due to diabetic complications; later, my dad suffered from kidney insufficiency, and now my mom with arthritis. I couldn’t do much, if anything, for my grandpa and dad, but for my mom, yes. I chose to make a change to the quality of life she lives, and this was my drive to study “Wholistic Nutrition.”

I attended the Northern Virginia Community College Clinical Massage Program and became licensed with the Virginia State Board of Nurses in 2013. I have spent over 18 years honing my integrative Health and Wellness skills to bring relief to the body naturally. You could say, looking for the "magic treatment bullet". Is there such thing?

I received my degree in Food Technology (1989) and Clinical Massage Therapy (2013) and have since completed several trainings in Advanced Bodywork Therapies, Holistic and Functional Nutrition, and Cell Appraisal training from various institutions to make up for that “Wholistic Nutrition” training and skill building.

My holistic nutrition and massage experience and training enables me to take a deeper look at structural chronic overuse or tissue restriction pain like pelvic or butt pain, lower back pain, pain between shoulder blades, headache, migraines, tight muscles, multiple joint pain, muscle loss, rib pain, chronic fatigue, and tiredness. Real pain that we feel is not bad enough for a visit to the doctor. Yet, if nothing is done can lead to slow nagging and frustrating pain.

Personally, my genetic makeup works against me, so rigorous exercise is out for me, but it doesn’t have to be for you. I have learned ways to balance and care for my body, and I can teach you to do the same.

When massage is combined with targeted nutrition for your self-care, improving your health becomes easy to manage. My goal is to help you relax, improve circulation and nutrient absorption, and increase cell and tissue function so you can reduce or manage your pain and continue doing the things you love.
