About Me  
I strongly believe in natural healing and holistic healthcare, and therapeutic massage is a big part of it. I have seen first hand over and over again how powerful the effects of massage can be, and the positive impact it can have on a person’s life. I can not imagine doing anything else. Every time a person gains some mobility or experiences reduced pain as a result of my massage, I know I have chosen the right profession. To me, being a Massage Therapist is not only about learning anatomy, physiology and pathology, or learning techniques and different modalities. It takes a lot of intuition, patience, sensitivity and the ability to get deep satisfaction out of being able to help others.
