State licensed and nationally certified massage therapist with experience in health care since 1987. My background in nursing, palliative care, hospice, working with disabled adults and vocational rehabilitation provides a sound base for treatment massage therapy that is presented in a relaxing setting. I continue to learn more about health daily and offer the level of care that I expect to receive.

If you are seeking a massage therapist that is well trained and that can provide a massage that feels relaxing, soothes the body and mind and addresses more than 70 conditions and the variety of symptoms you may be experiencing you need look no further.
My worst experience with a client in over 20+ years in health care occurred in March of 2015. They purchased a Groupon from a renter in my clinic. There were scheduling issues and the IC was moving out of state. It was asked to do a favor for a fellow therapist and take the appointment: not my Groupon offer but sure, I can help out. Said person arrived 45 minutes early, was aggravated when requested to complete a health history, tapped their toe and sighed loudly in the waiting area. Was perturbed when I didn't forgo my meal break and start immediately. In an effort to diffuse the situation I suggested rescheduling with the other therapist that was running the Groupon offer. Declined. I started the session 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. Responses during the intake process were clipped, curt and short. I verified that the appointment was scheduled for 60 minutes. During the session checked in about technique, level of pressure. At the end of the session, she informs me that she was booked for 90 minutes. She didn't get all of her time. There was in fact an error, she was on my schedule for 60 minutes - I offered options for solution; resume the massage, refund the difference or provide a discount on future service. She opted to resume. We did. She tipped. I offered it back given the scheduling issue and shortened time. She refused to rescind the tip, thanked me and left. And then she blew up the internet with a scathing review. I was advised not to respond, which I did not until now. This is ridiculous: There is one hairdresser in the building who was doing a cut and set. The appointment was booked for 60 minutes. I put my sweater on after finishing because the office area is cooler than the therapy room and frankly it was cold.
