My massages aren’t for the faint of heart and most assuredly are going to kick your ass. 

If you're in chronic pain, hurt yourself around the house, suffered a sports injury, or any other incident that had you cursing like a sailor - I’m your girl. 

Getting people out of pain is my passion and I’m very enthusiastic about helping you get back to life without groaning, moaning, and cursing everytime you shift.
 

IMPORTANT:  I’m not adept at Swedish so if you’re looking for a standard relaxation massage, I’m not the LMT for you.

 

However, I do offer Craniosacral therapy also referred to as CST.
 

This technique is completely different than my standard massages and focuses more on the calming of the nervous system.

 

I know, not very specific, right?

 

Trust me I get it.

​

So let me try to break it down to the best of my ability.

​

So, the body is made up of a three-dimensional connective tissue known as Fascia. (Ever have to cut the white parts out of raw chicken? That's Fascia.) 

​

Fascia can be damaged in multiple ways. Physical, yes, that's the obvious one but-

​

It can also be damaged by psychological, mental, and emotional abuse.

​

You might be asking yourself, what? How does something intangible cause your body physical harm?

​

Here's the thing about that- Fascia is everywhere. Including your brain. And that kind of metaphysical damage can lead to fascia tangling and becoming stuck-

​

Think about a fly stuck in a spider web.

​

The spider web is Fascia.

​

The fly is the damage.

​

What CST does is unwind the web around the fly so it can go back to doing fly like things. Or in this case, return your body to a healthier state.

​

Okay, so back to me!

​

My standard method:
 

Cliff notes: 

 

I am slow, thorough, and very methodical. 

 

Keyword: Slow.

 

Full story: 

 

I'm what you call an integrative therapist. 

 

You might be asking yourself the hell is that? 

 

Simple answer?

 

I use every tool in my arsenal I've learned in the last six years to help promote your well-being and relief from whatever has you seeking out therapy in the first place.

Before booking please understand that I’m a targeted therapist, which means I spend the whole session working on your problem areas rather than the typical full-body experience.

 

Depending on the severity of injury of the area I’m working on it can take me anywhere from 15 minutes through to the whole session. 
 

It’s why I believe my techniques are so effective, but I’ll let you be the judge.
 

Important to note: If you opt for the 60, 90, or 120-minute session and inform me my technique is not your cup of tea within fifteen minutes, the session will end and you won’t be charged.

 

Also, something to note: I'm only this engaging on paper. In-person I'm rather aloof, and quiet- especially when I'm focused on my work.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you, and deeply appreciate you stopping by to see what I have to offer.
