I have been in the Holistic Field of Health for over thirty six years, I  can adjust from very light pressure to deep pressure to work with bodies.  I believe that, “Generally speaking, corrections made using force, won’t hold as well as those using finesse, as forceful corrections/manipulations don’t require the bodies permission or cooperation.” Over the last eighteen years I have been concentrating my time on Massage Therapy, Complimentary Modalities and Teaching. Some of the things I do are, General Swedish Massage, Reiki Master/teacher, Indian Head Massage Practitioner/Teacher,  Vacuum Cupping,

Tui Na Practitioner/Teacher, Gua Sha, Myo Fascial Release, Active Release, Aroma Therapist, Tunning Fork,  Trauma Informed Therapist, a course in Emergency First Aid for Mental Health, well let’s just say I have a few tricks. I believe in the Mind, Body, Spirit, connection and feel that the body should be treated as a whole. Looking forward to being one of your guide’s on your journey to optimal health.
