Pain and Stress Relief
Caring Skilled Professional Massage Services
Do you suffer from pain, stress, physical discomfort as a result of prior injury, post immobilization or post operative stiffness? Massage therapy may be able to help.
Does your lower back hurt at the end of the day? Are there days you just don't feel you can get to sleep because of the throbbing in your buttocks or down the side of your legs? Massage therapy may be able to help.
Are you being pulled out of gravity from the effects of hormonal changes as a result of being pregnant or postural tilts as a result of a growth defect or injury? Massage therapy may be able to help.
I practice massage therapy to help you and other people who are suffering with pain and discomfort from lower back injuries, sports accidents, inequalities in the length of your legs, and defects in your posture. Relieving your pain is my driving concern.

I graduated from the Texas School of Massage, in Houston, Texas, with grades of “A” in every class and scored 817 points out of a possible 900 (91%) on the MBLEX license examination.
I perform Prenatal, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Muscle Energy Techniques, P.R.N., Sports, Swedish - Relaxation, Reciprocal Inhibition Techniques,Prenatal massage, and Trigger Point massage. Trigger points are very sensitive “taut bands and nodules” in the muscles. They restrict range of motion, cause local and referred pain, and rob muscle of energy.

I have recently acquired new skills in working with adults with Cerebral Palsy.
