Because I believe therapeutic massage is a necessary part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, my objective is to make it convenient and affordable. DCOMPRESS DOWNTOWN offers a variety of services that range from Prenatal Massage for the mommy to be, to Deep Tissue Massage for chronic pain management. My goal is to educate you about the true power bodywork can have when done on a regular basis with a clear purpose in mind. I want you to start thinking of massage, not only as a treat for your birthday or anniversary, but as an integral part of your health maintenance plan.

I Practice in the San Diego area. I believe our bodies can heal themselves if given the time and opportunity to do so. My massage is very nurturing and flushing, great for de-stressing and getting rid of toxins from our hectic lives. Good for athletes, mom's to be, business/computer workers, as well as anyone needing to detox!

True to the form of Integrative Health and Holistic Therapies, my practice combines the best from east and west. Through Bodywork-- emotional, spiritual, and physical issues are addressed for well-being. Modalities specialized in are: Spritual Healing, Acupresure, Trigger Point Therapy, Oriental Medicine, Thai massage, Lymphatic Therapy, Nutritional Counseling.

I integrate a number of healing modalities that I have studied in the past twenty years. I ask clients to fill out a short intake form and we discuss expectations of what the massage will accomplish before the person climbs on the table. I have a general outline in my mind of how I'll proceed. I also have a very strong intuitive sense which guides me in the healing work I do. I do not talk during a massage, allowing the client to completely relax and attain a quiet state naturally. And the client is always right when they say the pain s/he's feeling under my fingers is too much. I back off a titch and see if that feels better. I prefer to work with clients that want medium to deep pressure and are seeking relief from tight muscles, pain or stress.
