From the simplicity of helping induce relaxation and relieve pain through touch to the depth of releases, integration and transformation that are possible through bodywork, I find Massage Therapy to be an unlimited arena for exploration and growth both for my clients and myself. What I can say is that Massage Therapy has been a much more fascinating, broad area of study and rewarding endeavor than I could ever imagine!
I provide this service in a spirit of sacredness, compassion and a profound respect for the experience of being human.
