In my philosophy: ### Massage shouldn’t hurt. Period.

When your body is craving pain-reduction, it’s counter-productive to inflict pain — especially in the name of health.

And while “no pain, no gain” is a clever phrase, whenever massage therapists (or other manual therapists) mash & grind on a client’s body, they often cause more injury and pain without realizing it.

Instead, I listen to my client’s body and allow it to direct my attention. I respond with light pressure when needed, or access deeper structures in the body when needed. This responsive approach allows me to address a wide variety of physical issues and complaints – acute injuries, chronic pains, muscular aches, connective tissue restrictions, and stored traumas and anxieties held throughout the body. I work with athletes of all abilities, including those who find they don’t have as much time or drive to exercise as they’d like. Whether you are large or small, young or old: my treatment is solid, gentle, responsive, and effective.

I graduated from Discoverypoint School of Massage in 2013, although I started training in bodywork in 2009. I’ve completed several advanced training programs and classes over the years, always adding to my assessment and treatment skills. I teach at Discoverypoint School of Massage, and I’m very committed to ongoing learning and improvement as a practitioner.
