Each massage therapy client is naturally unique and, therefore, unpredictable in his or her response to bodywork. Changes happen only with the client's willing approval. Because clients are active participants in the process, this positive and interactive approach allows fascial changes to be easily assimilated and deeply integrated.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine make up a full medical system that treats just about anything. Acute ailments can be cleared up with just a few treatments. While chronic conditions take regular and longer term treatment, it is a worthwhile commitment for those in search of deep level healing that also includes a broadening and deepening spiritual awareness. This is what I am committed to in my practice. It is my life's work. While the subtlety of this medicine allows for the detection of subtle patterns before they become disease, this medicine is also effective for prevention.

I believe we are all born intuitive eaters, and in order to return to this, we must heal from the messages thrown our way by diet culture and remember how to trust our own instincts and experiences.

If you are struggling because you have pain issues, difficulty sleeping, or are undergoing mental and emotional stress, massage therapy may bring you the relief you seek. I have helped many people with a wide array of issues--people with very physical jobs, people who sit all day, athletes, people who have undergone great physical traumas and surgeries--the benefits of massage therapy are far reaching. In addition to resolving pain issues, massage therapy promotes deep relaxation and a sense of well being. As your body releases tension, your mind becomes more peaceful.
