Helping You Restore Your
Natural State of Health & Balance
I typically work with clients at the office 4 days a week (M, T, TH, F), working day and evening hours. In addition, I perform location chair massage and in-home massage therapy sessions. My area of focus is pregnancy massage, but I see a wide range of clients with a variety of needs from relaxation to specific therapeutic work. My clients range in age from 6 mos to late 80's. I am trained in Swedish, Deep Tissue (including Japanese Resorative massage), Hot Stone, Thai Yoga Therapy, Lymph Drainage Massage, Face Lift Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Shiatsu and Reiki. In addition, I have experience with Cranialsacral, Lymph Drainage, Auyervedic and Chinese medicine/massage, and acupressure. I am certified in Nurturing the Mother® Pre- and Perinatal Massage, which includes fertility, pregnancy, labor, postpartum and infant massage.
