About
I am a licensed massage therapist with a strong background in therapeutic exercise. I have trained in the John f Barnes approach to myofascial release and mobilization. The Therapeutic techniques i use are gentle yet very effective reaching deep into the fascial system to help improve postural imbalances, improve mobility and decrease/abolish pain.
I enjoy helping people to return to a pain free active lifestyle with the use of myofascial release techniques and education on self treatment techniques to help maintain progress made for lasting results

How did you get started in this business?
I have always had a strong desire to work with and help people to live their best lives. My journey began back in my late 20s as a certified fitness instructor and personal trainer. While working in the Fitness setting I Discovered that many people were trying to work threw some type of injury. This led me to PTA school and working in out patient therapy which led to the discovery of myofascial release. I witnessed amazing results every day in the PT setting and decided that it was time for me to get my LMT license and start my own practice so that I may work with people one-on-one to truly get to the root of their problem and help them return to a pain-free active lifestyle
