I love thinking outside of the box and finding creative ways to use techniques and tools while using my intuitive flow to help release stubborn knots and discomfort of sorts. My intention with creating a cozy sanctuary is to be able to have clients take a moment to sink in and address areas of concern so that I can gather what is coming up physically and emotionally. I believe in the mind + body + health connection, this way I can intuitively map out how to help shift things. By playing music that reaches the theta brain waves, this aids client’s minds into a meditative state and with the addition to using hot or cold stones to massage along areas of concern or to be placed in an area to bring awareness and/or to ease pain, it is meant to help heighten the massage treatment. These are all intentional key pieces to help clients drop into the zen zone to give an eclectic experience. Past experiences that led me to the massage world were dabbling into aromatherapy and herbs. Then becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and using my knowledge to work in health food stores. In recent years taking courses/workshops on acupressure, Reiki, PSYCH-K, breathwork, and intuition has helped shape the RMT I am today. Outside of work I play goalie on a women’s soccer team, love to go thrift shopping, being in nature and or doing agility with my dog Chai-la. I’m a big fan of Halloween and theme parties. I also like exploring new places to help with my own self-care.
This is a good amount of time to focus on a couple areas of concern which will feel targeted & relaxing. Hot stones may be used through out the massage or try cold stones to your neck and face near the end of your treatment for a refreshing pick me up! (Hot stones will NOT be in use during the warmer days of the year.)
