Before becoming a massage therapist, I was a psychiatric treatment counselor for 10 years. This work was incredibly rewarding and challenging. I was "front line" and responsible for the wellbeing of both adults and adolescents who were in a state of elated emotional crisis and trauma. Working in these elevated environments helped me to center myself and to become more present and aware of the needs of others, and most especially, how to listen.
Some of these milieus were incredibly intense brick and mortar affairs and some were strikingly beautiful, like the Colorado Rockies as a Back-Country Wilderness Instructor.
Those ten years of counseling, and then a life changing two-year position as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Malawi, Africa have really grounded me.
What I bring to the massage table is decades of therapeutic listening, compassion, empathy, and the ability to be present and to listen.
My specialty is a blend of myofascial and neuromuscular techniques within a thoroughly engaging, intensely relaxing, remarkably pain-free deep tissue massage.
I offer you over 16 years of focused injury treatment massage experience to help provide you with lasting pain relief.
I usually integrate Hot Stones and aroma therapy into sessions to deepen the relaxation.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become pain free.
