Certified Massage Therapist
In 2000, I became Certified in Advanced Massage Therapy at the Western Institute of Science and Health in San Francisco. The thorough 630 hour program layed the foundation for my bodywork practice, including training in Swedish, Shiatsu, and Sports Massage. I have also been trained in Deep Tissue, Acupressure, Tui Na, and Pre & Post Natal Massage. With over 15 years of experience, strong hands, and an intuitive fluid touch, my massage work is both deeply relaxing and delivers therapeutic results. I work with injuries as well as prevention and tailor my work to each individual’s needs.
