Though born and raised in the Chicago area, I spent over 20 years in NYC where I studied music at NYU and then worked as a pianist, conductor and music director for such Broadway shows as Avenue Q, Mamma Mia, Next To Normal, The Bands Visit and Hamilton. I have always been a firm believer in the healing power of touch, utilizing massage as routine maintenance to sustain my music career. A work-related injury introduced me to Alexander Technique which in turn brought about a fascination with anatomy, unknowingly planting a seed for a future massage education. One of my core beliefs is that we are given one body for our time on this planet, lets understand how it works and set it up for success for a long and healthy existence!
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.
