Overview

Professional Massage Therapy Services
With years of experience in therapeutic bodywork, I bring a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to healing and wellness. My foundation in physical therapy training provides me with an advanced understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and therapeutic intervention strategies.
Training & Expertise
My practice integrates multiple massage modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs. This diverse training allows me to address various conditions including chronic pain, injury recovery, stress management, and mobility restrictions. Each session is customized to support... your specific therapeutic goals.
Holistic Philosophy
As a Level 2 Internal Family Systems practitioner with training in somatic awareness and trauma-informed care, I recognize the important connection between physical tension and emotional well-being. My approach honors the wisdom of the body and creates a safe, respectful environment for healing. I work with sensitivity to how trauma and stress manifest physically, addressing both symptoms and underlying patterns.
Supporting Your Wellness
To complement hands-on therapy, I offer Sole Support custom shoe inserts. Proper foot placement and arch support are foundational to overall body alignment, helping to prevent pain and dysfunction throughout the kinetic chain.
My commitment is to provide professional, compassionate care that supports your journey toward optimal health and function.
