Hi! And thanks for visiting. Here’s a bit more about how we can work together.

Most of us have one or more pain patterns due to behavioral or postural issues, surgeries, stress, new and old sports injuries, car accidents, or accidental falls, to name a few.

On the day of your service we talk about how your body is feeling, and then design your session to release your problem areas and provide relief.

Therapeutic massage basically translates as whatever your body is calling for. We address sore muscles, spending more time when needed on problem areas. We treat chronic issues or recent injuries that can lead to muscle groups firing together. This is based on your needs! I do not preform a massage routine - I am not a massage robot :) Many clients have found freedom from pain and regained ease of movement in their bodies under my care.

I have spent many, many hours since graduating massage school (twice) focused on specialized training in treating individuals with a cancer diagnosis. This means I provide safe and nurturing Oncology massage while you are in treatment. I have a comprehensive understanding of the various types of cancer, cancer treatments and side-effects, and hands-on experience with all stages of cancer.

Oncology massage is also recommended post-treatment if you have had radiation or node removal - a trained oncology massage therapist is versed in appropriate methods that will protect and heal your system. I provide Lymphatic Drainage if you are experiencing lymphedema from radiation or impaired lymph function. And once surgical scars have settled (12 weeks typically), I employ manual (hands only) techniques to reintegrate the scar tissue with the fascial network using ScarWork (a highly effective scar tissue management therapy). I also may, if you are open, bring in Craniosacral and Reiki therapy which aid in deep theta state healing and reset the nervous system.

My advanced training in Lymphatic Drainage (I have the same 150 hour training as PT’s working in the hospital setting) allows me to help clients managing any form of swelling or edema, such as lymphedema, lipedema, CVI, or as a result of elective surgery.

ScarWork Therapy, a novel way of treating scars and scar tissue, taught by Sharon Wheeler, is gentle and effective in increasing range of motion, skin motility and suppleness. I often work with clients recovering from liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation or reduction, joint replacement, or new moms with C-Section surgery. To learn more, please read my blog.

Craniosacral Therapy, a soft touch therapy that facilitates the body's natural and innate healing processes, is beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges. To learn more, please read my blog.

I believe massage is not a simple luxury - it is essential to the wellbeing of our body, mind and spirit.
