Welcome to my Website!

If you’re looking for a professional massage therapist, you’ve come to the right place.

After 20+ years of working behind a desk, I have traded my laptop for a massage table. Eventually, my passion to work with people rather than behind a computer led me to follow an entirely different path.   Having been a massage client for at least 30 years, my interest in massage as a career became a reality after studying Massage Therapy at Bancroft.   For me, massage has always been a source of relief from painful symptoms stemming from arthritis and other limiting joint issues.  I hope to bring that same relief to my clients, whether it be treatment of chronic pain, a degenerative condition or an injury, or simply providing the body and mind a total relaxation experience.  I believe that everybody deserves total access to care and respect.  In my treatment room, EVERY body is beautiful and every difference is celebrated.  All are welcome!

A Little about my Yoga Philosophy and Teaching

After earning my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certificate, I began teaching a practice that focused more on the restorative aspects of yoga, including regaining mobility and maintaining a healthy practice of stretch and mind/body awareness that is an extension of my Massage practice.  Being a member of the Shri teaching community, my passion is to bring Yoga to all who want to experience the benefits the practice offers.  To bring in the mind/body element, my practice often concludes with a guided meditation savasana.

I teach Chair Yoga and Meditation, but currently have no public classes

I have also developed a workshop using balls and foam rollers, as well as stretch bands, using the Roll Model method by Jill Miller.  Offerings of these workshops are statewide at host studios.  You can find out more about these workshops on my Services page.

In addition to Massage and Yoga

I am a certified Thai Reflexologist.
