I have been practicing massage therapy since 2021. I truly believe in and practice the therapeutic aspects of massage. In short, I focus more on the healing and the alleviation of pain aspects of massage over general relaxation. I approach my work by treating the people I serve as individuals in need of health care, rather than as clients or customers. My primary focus in therapy is reducing muscle tension, relieving pain, increasing range of motion, and promoting overall mobility. I believe that when pain decreases, and movements become easier, it is when the body can start to fully relax – and when the body is relaxed, it can then have a positive effect on one’s disposition and mental health as well. Each of my massage therapy sessions is thoughtfully tailored to the individual’s needs, health issues, and medical history. My therapy sessions may include a combination of Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage, Ashiatsu, Shiatsu, cupping therapy, hot stone therapy, and Thai massage, using whichever technique is appropriate for the individual. Educational Background I completed my massage therapy program at East West College of the Healing Arts. In addition to my massage training, I have studied anatomy and physiology, microbiology, human development, nutrition, cell biology, and other prerequisite courses as part of my ongoing pursuit of a future education in healthcare. I treat each individual with the care and respect they deserve. Life is often difficult for many of us; we accumulate pain and tension as we do our best to get through each day. I am passionate about massage therapy because it allows me to do my small part in making the world a slightly better place by reducing some of the pain we all share.
