I have been practicing massage since 1993, and my NYS license number is 006480. My office is in downtown Oneonta, and I offer appointments on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

I work with all kinds of folx, with a special focus on the gender expansive community and trauma recovery.

It's estimated that over 90% of disease is stress related (HowItWorks.com). And perhaps nothing ages us faster—internally and externally—than excessive levels of stress. Massage can be an effective tool for managing our response to stress, translating to decreased anxiety, enhanced sleep quality, greater energy, improved concentration, increased circulation, and reduced fatigue.

Massage can also address a number of specific health issues. It can help alleviate muscular pain and improve range of motion, assist with a shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers, enhance immunity by stimulating the flow of lymph—the body's natural defense system, relax and strengthen weak, tight, or atrophied muscles, support athletes at any level to prepare for and recover from workouts and events, improve the condition and function of the skin—the body's largest organ, increase joint flexibility, lessen depression and anxiety, reduce post-surgical adhesions and swelling, reduce spasms and cramping, relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles, and release endorphins—the amino acids that work as the body's natural painkillers.
