Has stress taken it’s toll on you?
Both stress and sitting all day for work can play havoc on your body. Massage therapy has been scientifically proven to decrease stress and anxiety levels, promote better sleep, and decrease the aches and pains resulting from prolonged sitting or a lack of movement.
I have turned a lifelong interest in health, wellness, and healing into a career that I am passionate about. I love making people feel better. It’s incredibly rewarding when someone comes to you in pain, and leaves feeling great, with a smile on their face.
I combine an intuitive and clinical approach to treatments that are very client-centered, providing tailored massage therapy for each of my clients. I take into account how you spend your days, your posture, sleeping positions, etc., and combine therapeutic treatments with a spa feel, including essential oils and hot towels. I have experience working with those suffering from a variety of ailments including carpal tunnel syndrome and postural dysfunctions (like bad backs from working at home), and pregnancy.
Some clients like deep pressure, while some prefer a light touch, and others need variation depending on the area of treatment. There are also clients who like to chat throughout treatment, and those who wish to remain silent. I find out what works best for you as an individual - and do my best to accommodate your unique needs - while still delivering an effective treatment for what troubles you.
I will also share my knowledge, educating you on self care techniques that you can do between treatments. Self care helps you become proactive in your own recovery process and can go a long way in making you feel better.
I know that these therapeutic treatments can leave you feeling vulnerable, so it’s important to me that I provide you with an environment where you feel safe and supported. That’s why I value honest communication and feedback from my clients. If you don’t like something or something doesn’t feel right - or, even better, if you tell me what you do enjoy or find effective - I am able to give you more of what does work for you. These treatments are all about you and I want to be as effective as I can as your therapist. In return, I promise to be personable, caring and empathetic. It is my goal to ensure that you feel comfortable, listened to, and that the treatment given was effective - making you feel better than when you arrived.
Now let’s talk about you and your needs.
If you’re ready to release all that stress and feel pampered at the same time, I’m here and ready to help.
