I truly believe the body has an innate ability to heal itself - it just needs the right environment; with proper care, nutrition, exercise and sleep.

I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2007, dedicating my practice to helping others realize their optimal health. I’d rather help you “fix the problem” than “treat the symptom”. Often, the symptoms (usually pain) go away after correcting the issue.

There are many branches in the tree of Massage Therapy and I like to know as many of the as I can. I have done many courses that range from the very subtle energy work to more intense treatment of the body’s biomechanics, posture and joint function. All of those modalities have a place within your treatment.

I excel at listening to what your body is telling me and I will always work within your tolerance. I try never to force the body to do something it doesn’t want, rather I help guide it to it’s natural state.
