I became interested in massage therapy because of the benefits I observed from the CranioSacral Therapy that my friends, family, and I received. Working as a nurse in the Emergency Room for sixteen years has opened my eyes to the limitations of western medicine and given me a desire to bring a different form of help to those who continue to suffer.

​

In my practice CranioSacral Therapy is my main modality, but I regularly combine it with other types of bodywork, such as Orthobionomy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Myofascial Release, and Swedish Massage. I am also studying Neural Manipulation and am incorporating that into my practice. The focus of Neural Manipulation is working specifically with nerves, and my trainings so far address the nerves frequently affected by concussions, traumatic brain injuries, whiplash, falls, and shoulder and arm issues.

​

A recent addition to my professional practices is the application of Kambo, which is the secretion of the Amazonian giant waxy tree frog, Phyllomedusa Bicolor. This secretion is composed of a plethora of peptides, which are short chain amino acids, the building blocks for proteins. These peptides are amazingly compatible with and able to be used by the human body. Please see the kambo section for more information!

Both in my continued work in the Emergency Room, and my practice as a massage therapist, it has become increasingly apparent to me that in order to have any level of health, be it physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, all of these aspects need to be addressed together. As a consequence, my practice is evolving to assist with all levels of healing, to assist my clients to find their own inner resources, and to help them find other helpful resources outside of what I offer.
