Building Relationships

I am able to draw on a deep understanding of the human body and apply a wide variety of skills and techniques to tailor the massage experience specifically for your needs. My approach is always holistic, taking into account and looking for the connections between mind, body, and spirit.

I have had experience as an integrative massage therapist at Casey Health Institute as well as at holistic Bethesda Salt Cave spa. I put you first by tailoring the session according to your needs, so you can feel your best.

Sharing Knowledge

Communication is key. I need to know what you're feeling, experiencing and what you're looking to gain in order to best help you. In turn, I will explain the treatment and what you can expect to gain from it.

I use variety of techniques including Neuromuscular therapy, Swedish massage, Deep tissue massage, Shi Tai Shiatsu, Myoskeletal alignment technique, Hot stone massage, Pregnancy massage, Reflexology, Reiki... After a brief assessment of your health status and your needs, I applied the most effective technique or combination of techniques .
