My Objectives as a Therapist:

  • Support each client's efforts to achieve their best health
  • Listen to and learn from every client
  • Provide healthy and healing touch
  • Create positive energy and balance
  • Maintain my own health, to better serve others
 

After 20 years devoted to a variety of career paths, I was presented with an opportunity to pursue massage therapy.  I am a 2007 graduate of the East West Healing Arts Institute in Madison, Wisconsin.  East West is a special school, with an experienced and talented staff of instructors.  I was exposed to a wide range of techniques and philosophies at East West.  In addition to my massage training, I have a great deal of experience working with individuals with disabilities in community long-term care settings.  All of my experiences help to shape my approach to massage.

 

I live in Madison with my family, including my two children, both Madison Public School students.  We're active in our neighborhood and school communities.  We enjoy making music, hitting the streets and bike paths of Madison, and playing with friends.

 

Massage therapy is not the only work I do, but when I practice massage I do it with energy and passion.  I bring my full attention, and my life experience, to each massage I give.  Providing massage is an important part of my life, and I look forward to an opportunity to share that with you.
