Our emphasis is on helping you maintain a healthy body! The body has a natural ability to self-regulate and self-heal. Using natural treatment methods promotes healthy body mechanics and prevents injury. Preventative medicine, including good nutrition, fitness and regular bodywork, is important for sustaining healthy body systems. Through effective massage and manual therapy, your innate healing ability should be stimulated and maximized.
Part of a great therapeutic experience is finding a skilled professional therapist. I am a licensed massage therapist (LMT) in Arizona, Colorado and Oregon, and have completed 1,000 hours of continuing education in Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT). I am an active member of AMTA and ABMP, and a former operating room nurse.
