I became a massage therapist because I have always been inspired by healthy living practices and I love working with my hands. In time I understood how truly therapeutic massage can be for anyone seeking to heal and feel better in all their daily activities. It is a practice I revere and continue to refine. I started practicing bodywork as a child after a visitor to our home from West Africa showed me how to massage the head to relieve my brother's headache. I treated my father's back pain by walking on him, performing Thai Massage before I knew what it was. We used glass fire cupping to alleviate symptoms of cold. I spent time lying on a prickly acupressure mat that I found to be a very interesting toy. From an early age I understood that simple techniques could significantly reduce someone's pain rather quickly. It is this aspect of massage that I find most elegant and fulfilling. My specialties include Table/Floor Thai, Deep Tissue, Fire/Suction Cupping, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and my favorite, Pregnancy Massage. I have worked in spas, chiropractic offices, and community clinics in Chicago and Minneapolis. I value seeing clients on a regular basis and watching them improve with consistent self-care. I like to conduct a thorough intake. Having a complete medical history greatly helps in determining a treatment plan and appropriate application of techniques. I value communication and open feedback during treatments, as they help ensure that the client's needs are addressed. I encourage diaphragmatic breathing during sessions, due to it's pivotal role in maintaining homeostasis. I welcome anyone seeking relief from pain and trauma. Massage is a great catalyst of the healing process that is innate to all of us.
