I have a passion for helping people. Prior to entering therapeutic massage, I studied and worked in the field of psychology. I enjoy studying many holistic approaches to healing. I am well-versed in nutrition, breath-work, and stretching. I feel that I have found my true calling as a Massage Therapist. Throughout schooling, I fell in love with the therapeutic process of identifying problem areas in each client's body, and creating a plan of action to relieve the stress and pain clients are experiencing. Relaxation Massage, AKA Swedish Massage reduces stress and promotes relaxation by producing norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain, relieves pain by activating pleasure receptors, lowers blood pressure, stimulates venous return which improves blood circulation. Deep Tissue Massage targets specific areas of pain in the body and works to alleviate pain by the manipulation of soft tissue for therapeutic purpose. I would love to help you reach your goals, from relaxation and reducing stress, to alleviating acute and/or chronic pain.
