Client Satisfaction: The health and well being  of each client is my number one goal.  I offer a safe, calm, non-judgmental space where each  client can receive the treatment they ask for  and a place that they can release the tension  they hold for the time they are with me. I tailor each massage to meet the individual needs of each client.  By listening to my client’s needs, I incorporate multiple modalities to their massage in order to reach the best results possible.  I also believe in educating each client on self-care tips to allow them to take a part in reaching their personal bodywork goals.

Motto: Healing Hands Do No Harm

I strive to expand my knowledge and experience in bodywork by attending workshops to enhance my skills and expertise.
