“My goal is a comfortable, yet thoroughly

effective treatment.”


    What draws me to massage therapy is both its simplicity and complexity. Its simplicity lies in the lack of chemicals, tools, invasive procedures or tests; I just have my hands and my wits. The complexity lies in each person’s uniqueness, the variety of conditions, and the reliance on all of my faculties to tailor the treatment to each person needs. What keeps me coming back day after day is the powerful effect massage has for my clients, and the rewarding knowledge that, for most of them, they could not have found this effectiveness in any other modality.


    Since I started in 2001, I have had a focus on pregnancy massage, and much of my post graduate training has focused on improving my service for this clientele (see “Education” in the side bar, as well as a link to my pregnancy website). I continue to keep a large general practice as well, as I have diverse interests, and enjoy working on a wide variety of clients. Most of my clients are referred by word of mouth and I am often amused that people refer me for completely opposite reasons (I might have a client come in who was told I do really great deep treatments, and the next client tell me they were referred because I don’t go too deep). I am always looking to give you the exact treatment you need, and am very open to feedback regarding pressure, technique, music, lighting, talking, or changing the focus of the treatment all together! I am very aware that it is your treatment.


Effectiveness is a key element of any treatment, and my aim is to be as effective as possible. I am confident enough in my treatments that in most cases, if you have not experienced significant improvement in the first few treatments I will refer you to another practitioner. That being said, the vast majority of my clients notice significant improvement after one visit.


I love what I do and I look forward to the opportunity to serve you.
