Philosophy of Care

​

I believe that skilled touch therapy is a birthright for all, including our most vulnerable, in all stages of life, health, and illness. Massage therapy can relieve symptoms, improve well-being, and support both physical and mental health. To "reset" the human nervous system, sometimes we need outside help. Massage therapy can be that outside help.

​​​

It's my honor to provide that help; It's my joy to know and serve my clients.

​

Our Philosophy in Practice

​

I offer an environment of respect for you and your body, including your preferred massage pressure, areas of focus, and your most comfortable position on the table. As I plan the session together beforehand, we ask questions and listen carefully. 

​

During the session, please speak up as much as you need to with additional input or questions. You're not being "high-maintenance" if you need to adjust your position or change the pressure; instead, I am happy to hear from you.

 

Apart from responding to you, I am pretty quiet when we work. I create a peaceful environment.

​

I can work gently and deeply, and everywhere in between. With a little back-and-forth, I land on the best pressure for your muscles. For future sessions, I record those pressure levels, along with your other preferences.

​

Last but not least, meticulous office infection control protects us all--including the most vulnerable clients--from common infections including COVID.

​

Together, these elements create an oasis of sorts. A place to ease pain, fatigue, depression, nausea, and poor sleep. Where we interrupt the stress cycle, ease symptoms, and directly address muscle tension, aches and pains. A place to ease anxiety--both state anxiety (in the moment) and trait anxiety (the tendency to be anxious). With that, a host of other symptoms can improve.
