Massage Philosophy: I truly believe that our societal makeup in the US can create an unhealthy physical and emotional environment: we glorify stress and maintain a constant level of frenetic activity. We reward those who don't care for themselves, go to work sick, and push themselves beyond reasonable limits under the guise of "work hard, play hard" and "no pain, no gain." What we don't do is allow the body to rest. This has led us as a society to overload our nervous systems and also our physical/emotional systems while invalidating emotional as well as physical signs that we are unwell. Our social system benefits a medical industry focused on disease and symptom management, without providing the means for integrated mind-body wellness through prevention and maintenance. As a massage therapist, my number one goal is to find what will help you ratchet down your nervous system to find a balance so that healing and mind-body maintenance can happen. Wellness can become central to your life. I am here to support your balanced choices through massage and bodywork.
