I’m a passionate healer with an alternative approach, and I’m dedicated to helping my clients move through a wide range of physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions in the most efficient and transformative way possible.
What I Believe
I first came to holistic medicine as a patient looking for a gentler way of treating my own symptoms. After seeing how acupuncture, reiki and herbs treated my symptoms gently and effectively, I decided to become a Massage Therapist. Today, I believe in providing gentle healing that improves every aspect of my patients' lives.

Your appointment is a learning experience, and tuning into your body’s innate wisdom requires a dedicated one-on-one approach. I offer customized treatments for your specific set of concerns that will get you feeling back to yourself and better than ever in no time.

Traditional Massage
An Ancient Science
Many people believe that the health benefits of massage include lowering stress, boosting energy, and improving athletic performance. Traditional massage uses gentle pressure and stretching techniques to relax the whole body. The technique that traditional massage practitioners use is very different from what people in the West may be accustomed to. Unlike Swedish or shiatsu massage techniques, in which a person passively lies on a bed, the client lies on the floor and participates more actively in the massage.
Hot Stone Massage
Natural Healing
A hot stone massage is a style where a therapist uses heated stones throughout the massage session. These flat, smooth stones are used for relaxation, and also for warming up tight muscles while the therapist’s hands are working on another part of the body. Hot stone massage is a healing treatment that has been used for many centuries. In ancient times, a hot stone massage was used as a spiritual healing ritual to cure many illnesses. Today, it’s commonly known for stress relief and is administered at many popular spas across the country.
Shiatsu Massage
Balance Your Chi
Shiatsu means “finger pressure” in Japanese. During this type of massage, Shiatsu therapists use firm pressure and muscle manipulation techniques using not only fingers, but also elbows, knees, and feet. This pressure is placed along specific points of your body, called meridians, to release tension.
Sports Massage
Balance Your Chi
This specialized form of massage is used to prepare athletes for peak performance and is given before, during and after sports events. The purpose of sports massage is to prevent injuries by draining away fatigue, reducing muscle tension, relieving swelling, and promoting flexibility. It is primarily used during training for improving athletic performance or for rehabilitation. Sports massage is considered beneficial for athletes at all levels.
Swedish Massage
An Ancient Science
The Swedish massage is the most common and best-known type of massage in the West, and the foundation for sports massage, deep tissue massage, aromatherapy massage, and other popular Western-style massages. Based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology—as opposed to energy work on "meridians" or sen lines that are the focus in Asian massage systems—therapists utilize this type of massage to stimulate circulation, flush the circulatory system, release tight muscles, restore range of motion, and to relieve pain.
Thai Combination Massage
Natural Healing
A Combination Massage is a massage integrating more than one style or massage modality. It can combine techniques from Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, reflexology, trigger point therapy and hot stone. These combinations are used to tailor the massage towards your personal preferences and specific needs.
Combo Massage
Balance Your Chi
Four-Hands Massage is great for spa-goers who have a difficult time letting go of day-to-day thoughts and stresses during massage treatments.In a four-hands massage, two therapists work on one client, often using synchronized moves. A four-hands massage can be like experiencing two full body massages at the same time. Good massage therapists will use the client’s body as a form of canvas onto which they choreograph slow, detailed moves of varying paces and pressures. There are a number of different styles of four-hand massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
An Ancient Science
Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.
