I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in Oregon and Missouri and have been carefully examining the human body and practicing bodywork, under the supervision of physicians (along with numerous other “teachers”) for well over a decade. My approach to massage is intuitive, integrative, nurturing, and transformative.
I incorporate several approaches in my treatments including: Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sports Massage, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Neuromuscular and Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Acupressure, Quantum Touch Energy Healing, Reiki and Rehabilitative Stretching. I am certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) and am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).
Every person who comes to my table is unique. We are never exactly the same from moment to moment. Tell me what you desire each time we meet and I will draw on everything I know to help you. I have experience with a wide array of acute and chronic conditions and believe massage can be most effective when customized to meet your individual needs. Whether you seek relaxation, pain relief, release of stress and tension, restoration of balance and energy or all of these things, I will design a treatment session that blends therapeutic work with relaxation. Skills gained through education and experience, my touch with intent and high-quality products will deliver a healing experience for your entire being.
No "one-size-fits-all" retail massage here.
I don't believe in making extravagant promises. I humbly accept that I am not all things to all people. Still, I believe that my experiences and insight will bring an extra measure of intuition to the table. Ears are for listening, of course, but my eyes, my hands and my heart also "listen" to you on many levels. Over the years I have learned that the power of intention can create seemingly magical consequences and I hope to share that experience with you.
