About Me

Massage Therapy is really about YOU.  As your massage therapist, I will begin the session by listening to you and discussing how I can best serve you.  Each massage session will begin with me setting my intention to provide you with professional massage therapy created to meet your specific needs ... whether that is to address neck and back pain through trigger point therapy, or provide relief to recurring headache pain, or to allow you to simply relax.

My career as a massage therapist came as an "ah-ha" moment after having my first massage by a truly wonderful massage therapist.  I had been working for many years in the field of emergency medical services and found the work to be stressful both physically and emotionally.  I loved the patient care part of the job ... There was nothing more rewarding than seeing a chest pain patient's vital signs begin to improve just by providing a calm environment in the back of the ambulance.  Unfortunately, I witnessed far too many tragic situations with no hope for survival.  I discovered massage therapy as a way to provide relief and support in a far more pleasant environment.

I attended an amazing school - The Lotus School of Integrated Professions in Richmond, VA - where I felt surrounded by an encouraging group of instructors and classmates.  I found my new career ... my new life ... in which I could care for those in need while being surrounded by a supportive group of colleagues ... as well as trust an amazing universe which has provided me with honest guidance through my journey.
