Bio

I have been relieving chronic pain for my clients since I started massage in 1996. I studied at National Holistic Institute in their 720 hour program. I furthered my studies in Neuromuscular Therapy St. John method. I have taken countless other classes in Sports Massage, etc. I have crafted my own style from various techniques depending on what is going on with a client when they come in. I maintained a strong client base for several years at my boutique & wellness spa on the Russian River, about an hour north of San Francisco.

I develop tracking and therapeutic strategies to solve client soft tissue injuries. I am fascinated with unraveling musculoskeletal problems such as back and neck pain, rotator cuff injuries, sprains and strains, headaches, sports injuries, and stress-related conditions. I utilize Sports, Deep Tissue, Therapeutic Swedish massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, PNF Stretches and Trigger Point, to soothe muscles and relieve muscular tension, providing deep relaxation and a sense of renewal.

I have also developed my skills in looking beyond the issues associated with repetitive movement and physical ailments, and I look at what is and is not working in a client’s life.  I also have a unique intuitive way of looking into what may be the soul’s needs. Pain is there to tell us we need to be doing something differently.  Whether it is physical or emotional, or both.  I begin to help you reweave your story.  I have extensive experience working with individuals in transition, bereavement, and trauma recovery. Her deep listening skills are combined with intuition and practical application.
