About Me

My Philosophy

I believe that allowing yourself to be touched by another is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. This is how I approach massage therapy; providing the gift of touch. I focus on treating you as a whole (body AND mind) with detailed, compassionate work in order to facilitate not only physical but emotional healing as well. I use a broad range of techniques ranging from Eastern and Western modalities such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Tui Na, Shiatsu, and Reflexology to create a unique and personalized session accordingly to the needs of my client. Together, we can determine how I can best provide support and guide you through and beyond any current discomfort, pain, and limitation. I encourage you to take that first step with me in taking better care of yourself and feeling great.

Qualifications

After completing an intensive study of anatomy, physiology, pathology, Swedish massage, Shiatsu, and Chinese medicine, I graduated from the Swedish Institute with a degree in Massage Therapy. I then went on to pass the state licensing exam officially becoming a licensed massage therapist for New York State.
