Statement of Purpose: The most important aspect of my massage therapy practice is to help people feel better about themselves and their bodies. My greatest inspiration is derived from the result of helping people to overcome pain and suffering. For me, everything about massage is intuitive. As I work, I’m learning about the client’s body and use the best modality specifically designed for the individual.
When I work, my highest intention is to encourage clients to remain positive.
Heart is everything for me. I focus on universal divine energy and trust that my skills as an experienced massage therapist will complete the process in meeting the unique needs of each client.
Massage is a regenerative process for me that allows me to find a deeper connection to myself.
