Excellent Bodywork
Results Based Massage Therapy - Craniosacral
Therapy - Pre & Perinatal Services
It is my goal in every massage session to offer a mindful and pain free treatment.
My work is primarily myofascial intergrated with deep tissue neuromuscular therapy.
My work may be different for each session as your body informs me. It is a one step-at-a-time process and I work at a tempo that is best for you. There is no pain or bruising with my work. When your tissue is addressed correctly, you will get the relief you are looking for.
My specialties include: Deep muscle corrective massage, Pre & peri-natal & postpartum massage, Myofascial massage, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Sports Massage and Birth doula services.
I also am a provider on Advanced Bodywork continuing education in Florida and nationally.
