Story

About Me:
I have a deep love for my fellow human beings and have always had an interest in understanding and helping people. I hold a bachelor's degree in Sociology and a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a Registered Massage Practitioner and a level 2 Usui Reiki Practitioner. I truly believe in the healing power of bodywork and have been privileged to see first-hand how this work can be transformational. My goal is to be able to provide high-quality therapeutic bodywork at an affordable price, because self-care is a necessity and not a luxury. Currently I am offering 60, 75, and 90 minute Integrative massage sessions.

What is Integrative Massage?
Integrative massage is a style of bodywork that involves incorporating a variety of modalities and techniques to suit the individual needs and goals of the client. My work is based on the philosophy that each individual is unique as well as the understanding that all aspects of our being- mind, physical body, emotions, and spirit- are interconnected. By weaving together a blend of techniques, this work is able to address the specific needs of the client and promote healing and balance on every level.


What modalities do you use?
I have training in a variety of massage and healing modalities including: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Shiatsu, Usui Reiki, Acupressure, Polarity Therapy, Prenatal Massage, Cupping, Hot Stone Massage, Salt Stone massage and Aromatherapy. I'm an avid and passionate student and regularly pursue additional training and learning in the healing arts to incorporate into my work.



Do I need to take my clothes off?
No, you do not need to disrobe in order to receive a massage. I usually tell people that they may undress to their comfort level-- whatever that means to them. There are many modalities of bodywork that are easily done clothed (Shiatsu, Thai massage, Reiki, etc). I do suggest if you plan to remain clothed that you wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing.
