After a rewarding career as a teacher, I sought out massage as a way to teach others about appropriate massage therapy and its benefits. I was encouraged to get into massage because I have strong hands and am an easy person with whom to talk. My approach to massage is that massage should not cause more pain. If a client can not relax while I am working on them due to the pain, neither of us is benefiting. I let my clients know that they will not offend me by telling me that my pressure is too hard. I let my hands tell me where I need to work and the pressure that seems to be correct by the reaction of the muscles to my touch.
I offer the following kinds of massage:
