I attended Georgia Massage School where I studied under massage legends Rick Garbowski and Laurie Craig. GMS is the only massage school in the nation to have two American Massage Therapy Association Teacher of the Year award winners teaching under one roof! After graduation I deepened my skill set as a pain management and injury recovery therapist by becoming certified in Myoskeletal Alignment, Neil Asher Trigger Point Technique and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. I've also become quite skilled in Sports and Clinical Massage and I was member of the Atlanta Falcons massage team for 4 seasons. My goal as a massage therapist is to create a customized and unique massage experience that is both therapeutic and relaxing. By blending deep tissue techniques with Swedish and Lomi Lomi strokes I am able to provide relief from muscle tension with as little discomfort as possible. My life prior to becoming a LMT was quite eclectic. I've managed a music store and performed instrument repair and spent 7 years working in Law Enforcement. This background gives me a unique perspective on massage and the industry in general.
Massage
This customized massage incorporates many techniques to address muscle and skeletal issues. Swedish techniques are utilized to relax surface muscles then pressure is gradually increased to address Deep Tissue areas.
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart.
