Insurance
HSA/FSA cards accepted.

Approach
My approach emphasizes comfort and relaxation during and after treatment. Comfort allows the body to make profound changes without “beating up” on painful, tight muscles.

Mindful, skilled and intuitive touch means medium to gentle pressure can turn off the protective reflexes that cause pain and dysfunction. You don’t have to suffer through your treatment to feel better!

My work uses therapeutic framework of neuro-muscular and positional release therapies, so I often help even long-standing pain issues. And I do it with a gentle touch.

No single technique works for every person, so we’ll fine tune to find out what’s best for you. Your session might include some active micro-movements, breath work or stretches. It might be just blissfully melting. And for those who really like a little more intensity, we can use a massage gun to distract the nervous system out of a pain loop!

My goal is that your experience is both relaxing and relieving.
