I am a graduate of the Brian Utting School of Massage (Seattle, WA) and the Vodder School International (Victoria, BC).
I am also a life-long learner and have finished over 800 hours of continuing education since graduation, including special training in oncology massage. I am Board Certified by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).
I use a range of techniques, including deep tissue, fascial release, neuromuscular technique and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. My sessions are informed by the latest published research on lymphatic issues and the benefits of massage. Your massage is personalized – it is really your massage, as my hands listen to your tissue and respond with a calming, compassionate touch.
My home-based office is a professional space with a separate entrance and private half bath. There is a small waiting room and off street parking is available in front of the level entry office.
Before I began a full time massage practice, I worked many years as a visual artist. I hope that my office space reflects my talents and my commitment to beauty. At all times, I will do everything possible to ensure that your massage is a positive experience in a safe, clean environment.
I have worked in retirement homes and clinical settings, including 6 years as a therapist for Monroe Therapeutic Massage, P.S. at Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle.
Consequently, I am experienced in serving vulnerable populations as well as individuals and athletes who want to maximize their physical potential. I welcome referrals from physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors and naturopaths and would love to be a part of your healthcare team.
