why you need a massage. now.

massage helps breaks the stress-​pain cycle and brings your body and mind to a state of equilibrium. regular massage relieves stress, alleviates muscle aches and pains, and restores your energy so that you can live a healthier, more balanced life.

my training began with Swedish and deep tissue massage but over the course of 20 years my skill set has expanded to include sports massage, cranial sacral therapy, lomi lomi, myofascial/​trigger point therapy, Thai bodywork, cupping and Healing Touch (to name a few).

I meet your treatment goals with an overall desire to reduce pain, relieve muscle tension and impart deep relaxation. my style reflects what i’m looking for in a massage session; attention to detail, flow, and results.

I travel to you so you can experience your massage in the comfort of your home, hotel or office.
