Philosophy

To put it simply, I believe in the healing power of massage. I've seen (and experienced!) the effects of a good massage... The aches and pains disappear for a while. Some of that stress has melted away. The world is suddenly good and right and full of possibilities again. You feel cleaner, healthier, taller, stronger. Your breathing is deeper. Your blood pressure and heart rate are down. And finally, finally, your mind is at ease.


I usually recommend getting a massage 1-2x a month, or every week if you can! 
Some people may need massage more often than that, depending on the issues he/she is facing and the results desired.  It can be a luxury, but it can also be maintenance for the body (and soul). Plus, I believe massage is one of the best ways to manage all that stress we deal with every day. Feel free to call, text, or email me so we can talk about your massage plan.
