In 2015, chronic illness led me to leave my career as a special education teacher. On my journey to heal, only a few practitioners treated me without judgment. That experience motivated me to pursue bodywork so I can help others find solutions to improve their quality of life without questioning the validity of their symptoms.
My own experience with using bodywork to heal my pain as both an athlete and a person with a chronic illness has informed my work. I believe that bodywork does not need deep pressure to elicit big changes however if deep pressure feels right to you of course I can use it. I utilize a variety of modalities including Myofascial Release and Craniosacral therapy into an integrative massage sessions. I ease into my work to ensure that I use the best therapeutic pressure for your body.
I look forward to providing a bodywork session that supports you in your healing goals.
Specialized Training and Experience
MVA
I have specialized training in treating whiplash and over 6 years of experience working with people in pain after car accidents. I can walk you through how to receive care for injuries at no cost to you.
TMJD
If you have jaw pain and clicking, you might benefit from massage therapy. I utilize techniques both intraorally (inside the mouth using gloves) and externally to help relieve pain and dysfunction.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
I am trained and certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and advanced techniques for post-surgical MLD by ACOLS. As a Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist, I specialize in assisting clients with the management of post-traumatic and post-surgical edema. Additional therapeutic benefits of MLD include supporting the management of conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, and chronic pain. While these techniques utilize a gentle touch, they are highly effective for promoting overall relaxation and wellness.
I possess advanced training in designing and executing
specialized treatment protocols for individuals recovering from top surgery, liposuction, breast procedures, abdominoplasty, and other surgical interventions.
Although MLD enhances the body’s natural lymphatic circulation to alleviate swelling, please note that I do not offer body contouring or sculpting services.
