"I believe that each of us has a purpose for our lives. I think we are given certain gifts and attributes that allow us to fulfill that purpose, so that we can live our best life, and in doing so, enric
h other’s lives as well. Massage therapy has given me that fulfillment.
It is a wonderful thing to serve my clients in a way that brings healing, and a heightened sense of his or her wellbeing. I know my work plays a part in the client’s natural healing process, physically and psychologically. My technical training in Neuromuscular Therapy enables me to not only provide hands-on treatment to eliminate persistent soft-tissue pain syndromes, but also to educate people about the likely origins of their pain. In addition to identifying the cause of the pain, I assist the client in developing an effective home treatment plan. NMT is a very powerful approach to restoring balance inv the body. Working this way with my clients is a privilege and a blessing in my life."
