I studied physical therapy at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville, IL. Upon completion of the Physical Therapist Assistant program in 2013, I rolled into the accelerated massage therapy program at The Body Therapy Center in Swansea, IL. Following licensure for PTA in 2013, I practiced physical therapy before seeking my massage license, though I successfully passed the state boards in 2015. In 2017, I decided to complete the licensure process , and became a Licensed Massage Therapist. Alongside physical therapy, I have been building my career in massage therapy in central Illinois following out family's relocation. I can be found at Clinton Massage Therapy, as well as at True Health Chiropractic and Massage in Bloomington. I host on site massages by appointment monthly at the Holiday Inn Express in Springfield. I am also available by appointment for massage at your location. My style is a somewhat eclectic combination of Swedish massage, myofascial release with integrated craniosacral elements, deep tissue and relaxing effleurage strokes. Each massage includes range of motion and when appropriate, stretching to upper and lower extremes. I've been very effective with treatments for limited motion in the hips and shoulders, back pain, sciatica, and neck pain.
Massage
Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle light massage that helps to direct lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system and cleans toxins, proteins, cancer cells, viruses, and dead cells about 20 times faster than the body is able to do on it's own. Once a large amount of toxins are eliminated, the body is able to relax more deeply and use it's energy more directly to regenerate the cells.
