MISSION STATEMENT: To all those who request my services as a Massage Therapist, I will offer an affordable, safe means in which you, the client, may receive professional mobile massage care in a timely manner. I will continually strive to gain knowledge to offer additional services to assist you to my utmost ability.
INTRODUCTION: Back in 1997 I had gone to a Marriage Encounter convention. At this event there was a Massage Therapist there speaking about "The Importance of Touch." After her talk she offered chair massages to those who wanted one. My job at that time was as a customer service representative sitting behind a computer with a pair of headphones day after day. This position had taken a toll on my body. I also did work as an apartment caretaker with my wife during this time. The day-to-day duties of cleaning apartments, shoveling snow during the winter, and all other activities that the job entailed had also done its number on me. After receiving my first chair massage I noticed that I had easier movement in my shoulders and the soreness in my lower back had all but disappeared. From that point on I received massages on a regular basis. In 2008 I moved to Kalamazoo from Minnesota to start a new chapter in my life. One day I was driving and noticed a sign that read, “Professional Massage Training Starting Soon.” My girlfriend, who is now my fiancé, urged me to think about enrolling, and now I am glad I did. I am now happy to announce that my own mobile massage business is in operation, and I will strive to make the services as convenient as necessary for my customers. Upon completion of my program at Kalamazoo Center for the Healing Arts, I intend to proceed with classes in Pet Massage to further serve you and your pets. I enjoy animals and my apartment complex doesn’t allow pets. I thought this might be a means in which I could be around animals without disturbing my landlords!

Swedish Full Body Relaxation Massage
Benefits: Shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system while soothing the nerves themselves. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested as a component of a regular program for stress management.
Acupressure
Benefits: Stimulates the body’s own recuperative powers by stimulating the various points on the body. The stimulation removes energy blockages by diffusing the toxic build-up that accumulates in the muscle tissues. The accumulation of toxins causes stiffness throughout the body. Stiffness in muscles puts abnormal pressure on nerves, and blood/lymph vessels. The pressure on blood and lymph vessels affects both skeletal systems and internal organ functioning.
