About
I believe my clients can sense that I am genuine, this is not about the money it is about helping people find their place. I have some great alternative therapy processes coming in soon as well as the Holistic Alternative Psychology Master Practitioner. If clients want quiet they may have quiet but if they want to talk I will listen.
I enjoy the variety of clients I meet, the types of challenges I get to work with and the feeling that I have made a difference in that person's life if even for only 15 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I meet a new client I like to sit down with them and discuss what their particular goals are, relaxation or pain related, and I like to do an intake form to record any issues they mention such as prior injuries or surgical sites. I like to give the client a chance to ask any questions of me and I explain to them the draping standards if they are nervous I can do a demonstration on another therapist. I believe in clear and concise directions, if something is not feeling right I ask the client to note the shifts.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Certified Massage Therapist and I am working on becoming certified in a few modalities such as Certified Infant Massage as well as becoming a Holistic Alternative Psychology Master Practitioner. I am, and will always, be learning something new to help my clients discover their best selves.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
My standard pricing is $80/60 minutes, $120/90 minutes, $160/120 minutes; add-ons such as salt or sugar scrubs are an additional $30. There is a $10 service fee for travel to the clients home.

How did you get started in this business?
I wanted to go to Nursing School and through my anatomy and physiology classes I realized the human experience was so much more than just the tradition western medicine. I am a professional Cuddlist and a Certified Massage Therapist so I am all about the human connection, feeling the energy each client is bringing into our time together.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All types - young, old, larger, petite, chronic pain to standard relaxation.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently had an "older" gentleman come in to my spa telling me about his aches and pains and that he was going to go in for elbow surgery in the next month; during the course of his treatment we realized the pain was much higher than his elbow and that his medical team needed to do more testing. The problem was in his pectoral muscles and rotator cuff and was radiating down to his elbow so he was able to do some physical therapy and avoid surgery at this time.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
My first piece of advice would be to go with your gut instinct and be open to feeling "the vibe." So many times we try to ignore what our body tells us and then we end up in some type of distress. And be sure the professional and you have a good communication style, be clear on what you want and what they will give you in return.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
i believe the basic background questions deserve some time and attention to detail, not just glossing over the highlights. Think about injuries you may have had large or small, have they worked with these types of injuries before. What was the success rate for improvement?
