Almost nothing in the world soothes the body, calms the mind, dramatically reduces stress, improves energy and elevates one's health like massage.
I have been a licensed practicing therapist for the last 30 years and have made it my personal mission to provide my clients with the ultimate in professionalism, education and therapeutic excellence, as well as the comfort of a quiet, tasteful and relaxed atmosphere in which all of the benefits that a quality massage experience can deliver....ARE DELIVERED!

The two central modalities which I offer are NEUROMUSCULAR Massage and CRANIOSACRAL Therapy.
Since 1985, my mission has been to provide relief to people seeking an alternative to drugs or surgery, however...

The primary reason for most people seeking massage therapy over the last several years appears to be able to be summed up in one simple word: stress.

As for my clients who are seeking strictly pain relief, the vast majority of them come to my office for therapy associated with problems such as muscular or sciatic pain, restriction of movement, TMJ problems, fascial immobility, headaches and migraines, post-surgical pain or complications resulting from automobile or other accidents.

My practice is oriented towards giving you the greatest chance to "make the most" of your life by removing those blocks caused by stress, inactivity or injury. Many of the therapeutic (Neuromuscular) applications I employ consist of deep tissue techniques which include trigger point work, Myofascial release, ischemic pressure (to increase circulation) and skin rolling to enhance ease of muscular movement.

Through years of experience, I have found that while light, superficial massage does bring about a relaxation response in people, it is also my observation that deep tissue techniques have a greater potential to deliver a longer lasting, more profound relaxation that also gives the additional advantage of aiding to improve posture and physiological functioning.

Specific problems, such as Fibromyalgia however, initially require light work, as the pain and tenderness aspects of this conditon insist that the patient be addressed in this manner until such time when deeper work can be sustained.

Rest assured that I will always work within the limits which YOU specify.
It is my promise to you that I will do my very best to work within your own personal ranges of comfort to achieve the results which you are seeking.
