I've been a dedicated practitioner of holistic medicine since 1988. I love empowering patients to understand their bodies and discover the gentle power of the healing arts. As a well-renowned Massage Therapist and Structural Integration Practitioner, I enjoy being able to bridge the gap between holistic and western medicine while providing a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which to heal. I am always looking to integrate new treatments and therapies into my practice and believe that continued learning is important for any good Massage Therapist. My main focus is to get you better ASAP. I use Structural Integration as my main modality. I am also an accredited Journey Practitioner, Neuro Developmental Functional Approach Therapist, Theta Healing Practitioner and much more...
