I truly believe the body has an innate ability to heal itself - it just needs the right environment; with proper care, nutrition, exercise and sleep. I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2007, dedicating my practice to helping others realize their optimal health. I’d rather help you “fix the problem” than “treat the symptom”. Often, the symptoms (usually pain) go away after correcting the issue. There are many branches in the tree of Massage Therapy and I like to know as many of the as I can. I have done many courses that range from the very subtle energy work to more intense treatment of the body’s biomechanics, posture and joint function. All of those modalities have a place within your treatment. I excel at listening to what your body is telling me and I will always work within your tolerance. I try never to force the body to do something it doesn’t want, rather I help guide it to it’s natural state.
Massage Therapy can be very helpful with the changes that expecting mothers can experience during pregnancy. As a pregnancy progresses and the body’s ligaments start to relax, women may experience added strain on their muscles and joints. Pre-natal massage helps alleviate, hip and low back pain, calf cramping, and upper back and neck tension. Moms can also enjoy abdominal massage in their treatment, helping to soothe the baby and relieve gastrointestinal issues. All therapists are trained in pre-natal massage and can accommodate your changing needs through your pregnancy. You can choose to lay on your side with a body pillow, or on your stomach with the pre-natal pillow.
