How I Help
My philosophy is that when we take care of the body, the heart and mind can follow. I integrate techniques I have learned over 25 years in professional massage therapy to provide a session that is both relaxing and effective. Your best possible experience is my goal. I graduated from the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, CA in 2003, and I couldn’t be happier to continue following my passion to be a healing presence for others.

Focus
The focus is always relaxation, because that rest-and-digest nervous system response is where we find healing and regeneration. Whatever pain or discomfort you bring to your session will be addressed directly, and with compassion.

Additional Information
I specialize in lower back pain, neck pain, and headaches, and incorporate effective stretching for every part of the body. Using a blend of Swedish, deep tissue, and acupressure techniques, my work honors the flow of chi through the meridians while encouraging deep relaxation for tight and sore muscles. Outside of the treatment room, I am also a professional astrologer and Tarot card reader.
