Introduction

I care greatly about my clients and fulfilling their needs to the best of my ability and have helped many along the way, so far. If there’s an area of expertise one may need, I am honest, as I know many in the field to refer out, as I have my client’s best interest in mind. In addition to being a Licensed Massage Therapist, I have a movement background that includes certifications in Pilates, Yoga, and Barre. I am also a certified Canine Massage Therapist. This has aided in reading one’s body and gait. The approach for my clients is both Eastern and Western based. This taps into one’s energy (or chi) along with their more obvious symptoms/feelings. By utilizing an energetic and clinical approach, I am able to aid in healing the body as whole. My clients have gained body awareness, in better knowing/learning the bodies signals and how the body is connected. I would look forward to being a part of your wellness journey.
