I believe that it is my purpose to inspire action in others. I feel that my clients are more than just a body and I make it my goal to provide each person with a comprehensive and individualized approach to their therapy session. 

To accommodate the changing needs of my clients, I combine Swedish, Hydrotherapy, Deep Tissue, Myofascial, Trigger Point, Sports, Functional Neuromuscular Release, Motor Point Release and Stretching Techniques to create a therapeutic experience for all of my clients. 

I am consistently attentive to the individual needs of each client and am enthusiastic about assisting people to achieve optimal health. Instilling a partnership from the beginning ensures that my clients establish and meet their goals at each massage therapy session.

Additionally,I have over 15 years of experience in the medical and dental hygiene field and found that there is truly a need for someone that specializes in TMJ issues. I have treated several clients for this condition. As a clinical massage therapist, I also have the training to treat conditions such as, carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet syndrome, headaches, and muscles strains to name a few.  I aslo offer Thai massage.

A graduate of the Soma Institute (Chicago), I graduated Valedictorian of my class with perfect attendance. I also recently completed my B.S. in Dental Hygiene with President’s Honors. I believe that learning continues throughout a life-time and that one should never stop learning. My educational goals are to obtain my M.S. in Nutrition and then my Doctorate in Naturopathy. Future massage therapy endeavors (adventures) are to learn Ashiatsu, Neuromuscular Therapy, Arthrosagge, Medical Massage, Prenatal Massage and Reiki. I also have a strong interest in Ayurveda, an ancient form of medicine originating in India.  I am also certified to teach Qigong through Supreme Science Qigong which helps to build muscle endurance.

I am nationally certified and a member of the AMTA and NCBTMB.
