  "We are the only ones who can heal ourselves - sometimes with assistance, sometimes without. " I use basic Swedish Massage strokes and incorporate position release, Traeger techniques, Regenesis energy and aromatherapy. My goal in massage is to relieve stress and nurture both body and spirit through gentle touch. Eleven years ago I was going through a period of major stress in my life, both personally and professionally. I found that my body ached and I was not sleeping well and was often sick. I started receiving regular massages to help my body relax. I knew that I needed more balance in my life. My massage therapist/hypnotherapist suggested I take a class in massage to see if I liked it. Not only did I like it, I loved it. I had found my mission in life, my way to give back to the universe.

Even though I had a full-time job as a manager at Pacific Bell, I began doing massages on everyone I knew on evenings and weekends and even during breaks at work. Many of my clients said I have healing hands and I soon began to consider leaving my corporate job to devote all my time to massage. Finally, after four years of dreaming about this, I was able to take an early retirement. I have now been a full time massage therapist for six years and I am honored to provide my clients with gentle, nurturing pain and stress relief and to be a part of the healing process. I can now say that I have a job I love and a lot more joy in my own life too.
