Welcome!
I'm a Professional Massage Therapist that provides therapeutic and relaxing massages. I have 8 years of experience from a chiropractic setting and a high end spa. Which brings a total of 13 years of massage experience to date! I enjoy helping people destress from their hectic lives or working on specific issues. I love to get to know each and everyone of my clients on a personal level, but yet allow them to receive their treatment in peace and quiet if they choose to.
Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Massage may range from light to deep pressure. Massage is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. Studies have found massage may be helpful for: Anxiety, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, headaches, insomnia related to stress, myofascial pain syndrome, soft tissue strains and injuries, sports injuries, and joint pain.
I also have added my certification of Reiki Master to my practice. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. It is done by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that the "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
