My interest in the field of massage therapy began as a child. I come from a family of 16 - and we were all encouraged to take a proactive role in our health and avoid pharmaceutical medications if a natural remedy existed. I grew to appreciate these values and continue to live by them today.
From the age of six, I suffered from frequent migraines, which had a debilitating effect on my schoolwork and social activities. As soon as all possible medical conditions were ruled out, I began an active search for permanent healing treatments. I believe it was a blessing to have the frequent migraines. They motivated me to search for genuine answers that I am now able to share with my clients. I have personally experienced chiropractic treatment, a variety of massage therapies, Rolfing (structure work), energy work, classic homeopathy, nutrition balancing, hormone balancing, yoga and exercise. All of these treatments helped me in specific ways. As a result, I have been migraine-free for five years.
I am a highly trained massage therapist specializing in Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) and Myofascial Release/Connective Tissue Therapy (MFR/CTT). I have successfully treated clients for the past 14 years. My passion for this field is also supported by a background in science, vast knowledge of the human body, and my commitment to health, wellness and living a balanced lifestyle.
In addition, I work with many other health professionals including chiropractors, osteopaths, medical doctors, nurses, dentists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists, personal trainers, athletic coaches and dance/yoga/Pilates instructors. I explicitly refer my clients to these health professionals when necessary.
If you or someone you know is suffering from chronic pain or is interested in maximizing their structural balance, I would appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate the amazing difference this therapy can make in your life.
