My practice is focused on massage therapy with a light touch.  I believe that massage does not have to be painful to be effective.  I utilize gentle massage strokes that encourage the body in its own healing. 

My clients may realize many benefits of massage immediately after their session and over time come to know the long-term benefits that are associated with regular therapy.  Immediate effects that may be felt include: better sleep, pain relief, a sense of overall relaxation, stress-relief, a clear mind, softer breathing, and more.  Some conditions may require a regular massage schedule along with other therapies or medical treatments before the effects become noticeable and lasting.

I combine a host of therapies to ensure that my massage sessions encourage the maximum benefit to the client every time. 

• Therapeutic Swedish Massage

• Lomi, Lomi Traditional Hawaiian Massage

• Reflexology of the hands, feet, and ears

• Acupressure

• Aromatherapy

My techniques are especially appropriate for sensitive clients.  Sensitive populations may include:

• Clients with medical conditions such as fibromyalgia, injuries, surgeries, arthritis, mirgraines

• Women who are pregnant or experiencing symptoms related to menopause

• Elderly clients

• Infants and children

I also offer massage sessions in which the client remains fully clothed.  These sessions may be appropriate for clients who experience on or more of the following:
• sensitive to touch
• self-conscious about their body or about removing clothing
• skin irritations that limit direct contact
• injuries or chronic conditions that limit mobility
