Get Rid of That Pain!
I have been in practice for 18 years now, specializing in post-injury, deep tissue and relaxation treatments. Each session is geared toward what the client/patients needs are. Because of my work experience at a local hospital doing bedside massage for patients for almost 14 years, my medical massage experiece has been pivotal in my private practice. I do not diagnose a clients condition, but I work closely with other medical professionals to assist each client in their direct path of rehabilitation. If my techniques are not appropriate for the client, I have a list of other practicioners that I can also refer them to. I am truly blessed to love what I do and I hope that shows in treatment session that I give. I am happy to say that I have been blessed with clients who’ve stayed with me for well over a decade! If you need any referrals, just ask! Thank you!

Medical Massage for Injuries, Wellness and Performance
Deep tissue and sports massage for wellness and performance. Each massage is tailored to the current goals of clients, such as relief of pain, improved flexibility, more energy, stamina, etc. Migraine and headache syndromes are a specialty. Many of my clients have been with me for several years as they meet their goals and set new ones. Getting there is fun! Sometimes performance goals are athletic, like running marathons or improving golf scores. Other clients set goals to improve their quality of life, such as eliminating headaches and back pain. Massage is a major factor in preventing injuries as well as maintaining health. I am often told my empathy for people's conditions gives me an edge in treating conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia and TMJ.I also use my skills as a medical and science writer and researcher to track downmassage solutions to muscle skeletal problems. I listen. I care. I am interested in helping people feel betterand bette.

Offering Healing Medical Massage in a Safe Ambient Space
Securely draped or fully clothed for your comfort.
I have been trained to work with and find the causes for neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, hand pain, hip pain, back pain, leg pain, foot pain, headaches and more. Knowing that postural habits are the usual cause for our pain and that every client is unique, I perform a free physical evaluation before your session, which is crucial to the success of massage therapy. Not only is my practice about the work, but it is of utmost importance to me that you feel comfortable and safe under my care. When you come for your first visit, I'll provide a one-page intake form for you to fill out. Not only will I consider the information you've written, but I will listen to what you have to say about your activities of daily living (ADLs) in order to get an overview of what repetitive strain you may be placing on your musculoskeletal system, including emotional stress which reflects in the tissues. After the physical evaluation, which doesn't take but 15 minutes or so, the session will begin. All pressure will be gauged to your comfort level. I'll explain what I am doing and why, unless, of course, you prefer peace and quiet... which I will respect. When the session is complete, I'll wait for you in the next room where I'll provide and explain your self-care instructions. There is no cost for the evaluation and self-care. You will be charged for the hands-on work only.

Neck and shoulder dysfunction
Prenatal/induction massage
I have been practising massage for 26 years and love it!! My sessions have evolved over the years to what works best for my clients. I specialize in shoulder dysfunction and lower back pain - which is often associated with hip issues. I also work a lot with prenatal massage , and when the time comes have had a lot of success with induction massage - hoping to avoid chemical induced labor My massage table is equiped with a tempurpedic mattress topper for maximum comfort my moms to be like this especially in their last trimester! I combine massage with organic grade A essential oils and moist heat - I have found that the combination of these three not only help with pain and tension release but also leads clients to a deep state of relaxation.

Types of Massage I perform: Swedish Massage Swedish Massage uses a system of long strokes, kneading, and friction percussive and vibration techniques on the more superficial layers of muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints. It is used primarily for full-body sessions and promotes general relaxation, improves blood circulation and range of motion, and relieves muscle tension. Swedish is the most common type of massage. Deep Tissue Massage Deep Tissue releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It is called deep tissue because it also focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Sports Massage Therapy Pregnancy Massage There is no other time in which bodywork can have as important an application than during pregnancy. When we begin to visualize pregnancy as far more than a physical state, and see it as a profound emotional, mental and spiritual process, it is clear that massage can be of great benefit to the pregnant mother. Woman have long held the amazing ability to influence the state of their bodies with their thoughts and feelings, and conversely, to allow their physical appearance or state of health to dominate how they feel about themselves as individuals. During pregnancy and childbearing, the enormous influx of hormones combined with weight gain, altered body shape, and the normal bio

Outcall Massage to Heal and Soothe Sore Bodies!
I currently only have outcall service available. My bodywork is based around traditional Swedish style with a strong leaning to therapeutic deep tissue style work. Overall energy flow and balance, as well as a healing intent, is always kept in mind. In this way I like to feel my way to the problem, then try to fix it and smooth it back in with rest of body. But without feeling mechanical or routine. If this sounds at all like what you might need then hopefully I can help. Though my hands may be good, they are not perfect fit for everybody. I am currently working full time outside of massage. This leaves only weeknights open to take care of clients. I would ideally like to work on people similar to me- regular, hard working people trying to make their positive difference in the world. I also think massage should not be out of reach if you're a little short on money. I will work on you for what you can pay, that seems fair to both of us. A little good karma can go a long way. (no pic now, not hiding just started profile on iPhone - I don't look gross, scary or creepy though)

Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system. Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles. Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts. Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin. Increase joint flexibility. Lessen depression and anxiety. Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks. Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation. Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.

Enhanced sleep quality. Greater energy. Improved concentration. Increased circulation. Reduced fatigue.

Within a human body, there is a network of energy lines (meridians) and points (acu points) that are believed to carry KI, much like the different currents within the sea. Shiatsu aims to access these lines and points in a way that re-energises and re-balances the whole of body and mind. Shiatsu uses many different techniques. They can be slow and subtle or brisk and energising. Techniques include thumb, palm, elbow or knee pressure, as well as stretching and rocking. There are also manipulation techniques not unlike those used in Physiotherapy. Indeed, Shiatsu is sometimes called "japanese physiotherapy". The principal aim of Shiatsu is to assist the body's natural healing process by encouraging the client's energy to move into a more balanced state. As well as being beneficial for specific injuries and general symptoms of poor health, regular use can reduce the build up of daily stress. In my work I aim to create a supportive space in which you are invited to deeply relax, let go of usual tensions and worries and come to meet yourself - your own body, feelings, the space of your mind. When we are able to meet ourselves in this way, with kindness and without judgement - something magical happens. Sometimes clients describe the experience as "a sense of coming home". Shiatsu is given on a comfortable futon on the floor. A person is fully dressed in loose clothing, made from natural fibres if possible. It is advisable not to eat a large meal, or drink alcohol just before the session. Also, a hot, long bath on the day of the session should be avoided. After the session, some simple exercises may be shown, to do at home. A person should then rest for a couple of hours, or at least not engage in a strenuous or stressful activity.
