General Info
Massage is Very Relaxing..... Make an Appointment Today! Once a person experiences the effects of regular massage, they understand that the powerful benefits of massage therapy go way beyond the common belief that "massage is a luxury". In more recent years massage therapy has gained a notable reputation in the medical world as a means for reducing stress, relieving pain, and enhancing immunity I have been in private practice since 1994, and for eight years I was also a primary bodywork instructor at Heartwood Institute in California. My certifications include over 1500 hours in basic training and advanced techniques. In addition, I hold a Master's Degree from the University of Santa Monica, a Health Counseling Certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City, and a certification from the Teacher's College at Columbia University in New York City. My gift of touch is as innate and effortless as breathing, and it has been an active and creative part of my life since childhood. As a result, my passion for this work is endless. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing others be more in sync with their bodies and spirits because of a contribution I could make. I love sharing my gifts and knowledge with my clients. About My Touch: Every massage I give is a very unique and individual conversation between my hands and the client's tissues. This conversation is based not on a routine, but rather on highly skilled technique, palpation, and intuition. My touch is soft yet firm, but never painful, and responds with the most appropriate technique, pressure, and pace at any given moment. My pace matches the client's internal pace needed for relaxation, pain relief, and healing. Every session is an integration of all I have learned: East and West, energy and matter, technical and intuitive - all centered in presence. I focus on the client's intention for the session - perhaps relaxing, rehabilitating, or rejuvenating - and then I allow the conversation to take place. Quality training, exceptional palpation skills and an empathic therapist make all the difference in a massage session. Because of the way I embody all of these qualities, my touch therapy has a world-class, professional feel that has been described as "rare." The passion and reverence I have for this work is something my clients feel through my touch.
