About
Helping people find answers to feeling healthier and more comfortable in their own body is always my top priority. If I don't have the answers, I will help my clients find them through my own research and skill set, or thoughtfully referring out to another trustworthy professional. My clients get their full time on the massage table. A 60 minute massage is actually a 60 minute massage - as long as clients show up prior to start time allowing us to update their condition/needs, and allow time for disrobing.
I offer orthopedic/medical massage, lymphatic drainage, sports massage, as well as, body work focused Somatic Experiencing for healthier body and mind connection.
I enjoy working with athletes, and every day people alike. Injury and surgery recovery is like a puzzle to me. It is individual to each person's story. Finding what pieces we need to help realign them to their fullest potential is a fun challenge to me. I find working one on one with people in a mind, body, spirit healing capacity to be incredibly rewarding.

How did you get started in this business?
I'm a crazy horse girl that grew up competing in dressage and jumping. I've been receiving massage myself since I was 13 due to the physical demands of helping train and care for several horses 24/7 into my twenties. I realized how necessary massage is for athletes and thought it was a great segway into the medical field while I work on my degree. While I no longer compete, I still own two horses and ride for fun. Silly fact: I'm also trained in Equine Massage through Equissage California and used to work on pro cutting horses here in Colorado.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently received Kinesio Tape training in my home town near Seattle, with Rock Tape. I cannot say enough good about Rock Tape and their educational programs. Definitely a trip well worth it, not to mention I got the side bonus of visiting friends in the evenings. :-)
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Be your own advocate on everything concerning your health. Meaning, look things up, and ask questions, no matter how silly you might be afraid they sound. Look for someone who is willing to completely listen to you, give you options and ask for your input in your treatment. Avoid practitioners that tell you "how it is" without fully hearing you out. Avoid practitioners that don't ask for injury/health history, and be sure to give all of the details of your health history, no matter how seemingly mundane. Sometimes a medication, or previous treatment can be contraindication for massage. A good therapist would need/want to know for your safety and best interest.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Refreshing yourself on your health history so you can give detailed information to your massage therapist, as well as any other therapists or medical practitioners. It helps all of us know where you are at in your health or healing processes so your care team is on the same page. If you are receiving massage post surgery, or major medical/health event, please always check with your doctor before proceeding with any form of massage.
