Specialist LMT
About
I am very thorough and intuitive with the body, being able to identify areas of hypertension that might not have been previously noticeable. I try to give helpful tips and advice for the clients self care after their massage that is easily able to be adjusted into any busy or hectic schedule
Overall I like making people happy. The body is like a human puzzle to me that I love to try and piece together with my own two hands. I enjoy helping others to feel their absolute best. I have been practicing for two years and I have a lot of clients that have been with me from the start. I am a chameleon LMT. I can do anything from Swedish to deep tissue. In my tool box I also have myofascial, prenatal, lymphatic, sports massage and I specialize in headaches/migraines and sciatica while incorporating basic stretches

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially I quietly observe their gait and posture along with any body language. I do a thorough 5 min intake, getting my subjective information while walking them through my massage process from head to toe. Clarify about pressure desired, any areas that may be too sensitive or need to be avoided altogether. I ask certain medical/medication questions to make sure there are no contradictions. I also inform them of my plans for the session as well as things we will be discussing in the outake after the session. I then allow them to ask me any questions before we get started
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I initially graduated from Cortiva Institute in Philadelphia, I then moved out to AZ where I had to re-enroll into Cortiva again for more credit hours. I have been practicing for the last 2 years at a massage studio and have had steady and return clients since I started working. I am currently taking courses to add Reiki and cupping to my tool box

How did you get started in this business?
I've always loved taking care of people in different aspects. I've been a CNA most of my life, l really have a passion for the medical field and how to help make people feel better, whether by therapeutic touch, a listening ear, or even a hug. When you are on my table that time is specifically just for you. No judgements, no work, no stress, just time designed and catered for your self care
What types of customers have you worked with?
i work with high activity functioning clients. Weight/power lifters, avid hikers/bikers. I also have a lot of clients that do office/desk work, constant sitting. Prenatal clients. And stay at home moms. I've done some cranial sacral work along with clients with drainage problems, headaches/migraines and sciatica
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Don't be afraid to ask your therapist a lot of questions. Comparison shop, all therapists are different but not all genuinely listen to what you are saying. It's good to have a back up therapist, every LMT has their own techniques
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Clients often forget old injuries that could be part of their current issues, I've also noticed that clients tend to answer their own questions as to why something hurts or what's going on, they just don't stop and slow down, think, and put two and two together, clients also need to thoroughly think of their routine they've had throughout the previous weeks/months prior to their session, they get focused on the most current and that's not what's usually caused the issue at hand
