Specialized Massage Therapy
I have been practicing as a Licensed Massage Therapist since 1990. In my long career I have learned a lot of techniques and styles of massage. I now specialize in Craniosacral therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Somatic Emotional Release, and Energy Healing. Because these modalities are safe, non-invasive and gentle they can provide pain and stress relief for aging and end of life clients when other methods are not working.I bring all my experience and knowledge to these healing modalities to facilitate transformative Bodywork sessions.
