Massage For Your Stage in Life

About Me

I graduated from Montana Institute of Massage Therapy in 2002. I also have a degree as a physical therapist assistant and experience serving patients in home health and providing massage in the hospice setting. Currently I am a coach with Rock Steady Boxing ( a program that serves individuals living with Parkinson's disease).

I value education on all levels and incorporate new research findings as well as age-old proven techniques into my practice. In order to maintain the utmost quality and care to each individual, I continually seek out opportunities to further my knowledge of the body, mind and spirit.

My continuing education includes the following courses, seminars and qualifications beyond massage licensure:

 

  • Traditional Thai massage and body work, tools and techniques (cupping, scraping, herbal compress, balms and liniments)
  • Massage for orthopedic conditions; upper and lower body
  • Explain Pain ( treatment of individuals for chronic pain)
  • Myofacial release,Kinesio taping 
  • Beginning Foundations
  • Postural Restoration
