About
I have been practicing massage since 2009, after having graduated from Educating Hands School of Massage, one of the top ten programs in the country. I have been a member of FSMTA (the oldest professional massage organization in the country) since 2008 and have studied with some of the top massage therapists in the country and currently serve as the MidAtlantic Chapter Secretary and a national convention volunteer. I have developed a fusion of many massage modalities in order to create a perfect massage for each client’s needs. I have also learned the importance of listening to each client, not only what they say but what their body is telling me as well. As a result, clients have commented that “you can feel her heart through her hands” and “she is a lifesaver and really listens to my needs”. I have even been nicknamed The Muscle Whisperer by my clients who have stated “she communicates with my muscles on a cellular level.” Although I am more than capable of working with the entire body, I am especially skilled in sciatica/lower back pain relief as well as headache/ neck relief. My favorite modalities are sports/stretching, deep tissue and prenatal although I am also skilled in Swedish, hot stone, reiki, chair, and other modalities. Additionally, I spent time working with accident victims and am very skillful at pain relief. I am also a member of the Bodymasons Performance Therapy Team and am the official massage therapist for the Annapolis Film Festival. My goal and passion is to make a positive difference for every client.
I love making a difference in people's lives and seeing my clients get out of pain. The best feeling in the world is when a client comes in in pain and by the end of the massage, they spring up out of pain.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I do an intake session and have them fill out a form so that I know what there issue is. I then reassure them that I can adjust my pressure or any other aspect of the massage such as the stretches in my professional massage. I then explain to them how to lay on the table, especially for my prenatal clients who may not have had a prenatal massage before. I let them know that this is there massage so as long as everything is professional, I want to make sure they get the massage they want and want them to get into their zone whether that be a silent room or talking. I then proceed with the massage.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended one of the top ten schools in the nation and am an active member of the oldest massage organization in the country where I have the opportunity to study with some of the top massage therapists in the country each year. While I am only required to do 24 hours of continuing education every two years, it is not uncommon for me to have over 100. I have studied many different modalities, including sports/stretching, deep tissue, prenatal, hot stone, chair, aromatherapy, Tian di Bamboo, Esalen and many other types of massage from which I pull aspects to create each massage experience.

What types of customers have you worked with?
athletes, people with pain (especially chronic), pregnant, basically anyone who wants a massage but I prefer when there is something going on with the body as I do tend to do a lot of deep tissue massage while I can do light pressure as well.
