"I started my massage career in 2012 by establishing a free massage clinic for patients with HIV/AIDS. I have worked with clients recovering from traumatic injuries from car accidents and falls, professional dancers and athletes, as well as the occasional celebrity. Massage therapy is a vital component of self care. I take a holistic view of your health and customize your sessions to make the most impact on your well being. My goal as a therapist is to affect real change in the way that you feel, not just during a session, but for days and years to come.

I am pleased to achieve board certification which will allow me to work more closely with other healthcare providers and veterans."
