Healing Journey

 After a car accident, in my 20's, I began my healing journey through Eastern & Western medicine and alternative healing.  Recovering my own health took me off the well beaten path to opportunities to heal more easily, completely & quickly.  My own forays to resolve my chronic illness, TMJ, to overcome abuse & PTSD lead me to rare,  wonderful massage & energy body work methods. When these methods worked well, I kept making the transition from patient/client to student, practitioner, and often to instructor. Wanting to share this knowledge lead me to training & teaching, everyday folks and health care professionals.  

Every person & body has their own unique story.

Rather than applying a single approach to everyone, I help you discover key ingredients to your personal sense of well being. Drawing from a variety of Eastern & Western methods I help you find your best balance. While I love to see clients in my office, I believe many people want more control over their own well being. I offer optional training in self care massage and other techniques to help you maintain your own health between sessions. 

Since it was difficult to find massage techniques & therapists well suited to Fibromyalgia without causing push back or flares - I created my own style and protocols.  While everyone is different, I have found these techniques to be more easily tolerated by clients.
