My professional principles:
Balance...calm...and lightness. These are the intentions I set for all my sessions. I believe massage is more than an indulgence--the research proves the benefits are therapeutic. Real results--better sleep, less pain, decreased depression, better joint movement just to name a few--can be immediate and, if received regularly, long lasting. My unique and individualized approach is gentle yet targeted and flexible, addressing pain and smoothing out tension while leaving you feeling relaxed and light. I invite you to discover and experience your own level of wellness, and create a new path towards feeling better through therapeutic massage.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body--what you put on it is as important as what you put in it. All of my massage oils are made from natural ingredients and are fragrance free. I purchase pure essential oils from certified sources and they contain no artificial fragrances or colors. Also, I make and use my own unscented laundry detergent and cleaning products which are phosphate- and chemical-free.
