About
The essence of my practice is to empower each client so that they heal themselves.
Specialties
Working with women who experience low self-esteem, body image or eating disorder issues. With a "Come as you are" philosophy - you will never be judged and will receive the support you need to be nurtured. Remeber, I have also walked in those shoes.
Philosophy
There is no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenation, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen. Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

Body memory refers to the energy of past experiences that is suppressed in the body. The body converts the physical sensations, emotions and psychological impressions of one's experiences into various forms of energy. When a person feels overwhelmed or stressed, a protective mechanism is triggered that supresses the experience in the body, until a later date when they are able to release it.
Body memory creates tension that adversely affects the function of every system in the body. It has been discovered that many of the chronic, recurrent symptoms a person commonly experiences in their body are caused by body memory that has accumulated for years.
Body Memory Recall (BMR) is a form of therapeutic bodywork that integrates myofascial release, cranial sacral therapy, visceral myofascial release and unwinding. Collectively, these modalities comprehensively treat the effects of body memory and activates a person's innate ability to release it.
The BMR approach was developed in 1997 by Jonathan A. Tripodi, a physical therapist and pioneer in the field of body memory therapy. Additional Services Body Memory Recall Practitioner
