Thumbtack no longer allows massage services, where I did have all 5 star reviews, but let’s start from scratch here. Orthopedic Massage Therapist (OMT) on top of the standard Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT). I like feeling strong and want to continue moving well until I'm old and gray. It would be nice if I can help others along the way do the same. It takes self-care, and discipline, but it's worth it if it opens the doors to more possibilities. It's foolish to take on such an endeavor blindly, so I've made it a mission to never stop learning and cover every angle of approach to bodywork. So far, I have a very mechanical view of the body, lengthening the steel cables with too much tension, while ratcheting up the ones with too much slack so that the structure stands fully upright and balanced. Sound judgement guides where I'll focus most of my deep work to restore the body back to a neutral position. Balance the muscles, the rest of the body will follow... pending the skeleton's permission.

Ok Ok... I might sound intense, but that doesn't mean I'm not here for those who just want to relax too. "Deep" doesn't necessarily mean more force and I enjoy chaining everything together, seamlessly flowing together with all the sorcery a skilled massage therapist can muster. In short, I have a wide range to meet you where you're at.
