I am passionate about serving people needing help with pain, TMJ/TMD, posture, and muscular imbalance.
As a massage technician, I have an extensive toolbox of modalities I have been collecting for 25+ years, (not to mention costumes!), and no shortage of personal health challenges that have added to my understanding of health and wellness. Through my own struggles, I have maintained a playful demeanor that keeps things light, as healing can often be a long hard road -and I delight in bringing this humor, knowledge, and empathy into my healing work with others.
Drawing from medical massage, myofunctional therapy, psychology, fitness training, coaching/counseling, craniosacral therapy, and essential oils, we can resolve your individual needs and challenges, and help get you closer to where you want to go.
Ultimately, your results, your growth, your shift, comes from you. I’m just here to help make it happen.
