Licensed in 2002, I have worked in a variety of settings from a day spa to a physical therapy practice to my own office, my current workplace. I work with clients ranging from high-school age to 90. Here are just a few of the conditions I have worked with:

• Chronic pain in the neck, shoulder, back, hip
• Post-orthopedic surgery pain and limited range of motion
• Chronic headache
• Migraine
• Acute muscle strain
• Tingling and numbness in the upper extremity
• TMJ Syndrome

My practice has three goals:

• To normalize muscles and other soft tissues to maximize my clients' health and freedom of movement and minimize pain.

• To help clients see the connections between their activities and the impact of those activities on their bodies so they can make more informed choices about posture, exercise, and other self-care activities.

• To provide safe touch

What I bring to the massage table:

• In-depth knowledge of muscles and other soft tissue as well as a thorough understanding of how muscles work together throughout the body.

• A wide range of technques from gentle to deep tissue to locate and address soft tissue dysfunction and restore tissue health

• Strong listening skills to help clients identify links between their activities and their pain and develop modifications
