I start every day going for an early morning walk with my adored dog, after which we unwind in the front yard, taking in the morning sun and listening to the birds. I use this quiet time to stretch head-to-toe, clear my mind, balance my Qi and be grateful.

When I am not working or studying, I enjoy taking care of my small garden, exploring the many benefits my plants can provide for myself and my family, being outdoors and finding reasons to laugh.

 

Although I was born and raised on Long Island, NY, North Carolina has been a part of my life since 1998.

I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2011, and I continue to learn the interrelationships between the many systems of the body.

The more I learn and understand, the better I am able to help you.

Prior to 2011 I worked in the office world for over 12 years, so I understand the importance of clear communication, professionalism and building respectful client relationships.

 

Before the client and I can co-create a treatment plan, I first must consider all factors potentially playing a role;

musculoskeletal

connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, fascia)

functional / structural

central nervous system

peripheral nervous system

trigger points and their pain patterns

referred pain areas of organs

the health history of the client

all implanted devices

medications

circulatory system

lymphatic system

visceral health and mobility

ADL (activities of daily living)
