"My approach in a massage therapy deals with integrating several types of techniques depending on the needs of my client for each individual session. I usually incorporate some stretching, joint mobilization, and breath awareness to help provide my clients with a complete mind-body connection. I offer a firm, gentle touch helping clients to achieve a comfortable state of relaxation while still obtaining therapeutic results."

Personal Note:
My interest in complimentary healthcare was ignited in 1999 with the introduction of the healing energy of Reiki. While providing Reiki treatments, I found myself wanting to expand my knowledge in the healing arts and entered into a program to study massage therapy. Intuitively, I know I am here to offer my services as a healer, this is what I am meant to be doing.
