I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2001. My clients consist of athletes, people with injuries and others looking for stress management and relaxation. I use hypoallergenic, natural oils, lotions and aromatherapy for my treatment sessions.The setting for my sessions is private and quiet with the sound of relaxing music and ocean waves in the background. I can provide either a well lit room or a very dark room depending on client preference.
