I provide Therapeutic Massage. I have a home practice in Schererville, Indiana. Therapeutic Massage essentially just means whatever the client’s need is in that moment. I specialize in lomilomi, lower back issues, myofascial release, and cupping therapy. I’ve been practicing since 2006 and carry an Indiana State License and am a member of ABMP (Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals). When I graduated, I was mentored by an elder in Lomilomi Hawaiian Massage for 3 years. I also was mentored by an Acupuncturist where I learned Gua-Sha (scraping techniques) along with cupping / fire cupping. I include cupping along with every session (no extra fee) if the client feels the need. My most recent certifications are in Advanced Usui Reiki Techniques and Touching Trauma.

Lomilomi Hawaiian Massage – Lomi is my love and the root of my practice. It means, “to knead, to rub, sooth and work in and out, as the paws of a contented cat. It is a sacred shift within you that is inspired by the healing kahuna” I generally mix in all my modalities into this type of bodywork. Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage that uses long, deep strokes with a combination of prayer/reiki, breathing techniques, oil, rattling, and loving touch with mother’s hand. You will find me using the long strokes and stopping in areas that feel stagnant and then activating myofascial release to let go. It is a spiritual practice and my hope is to bring the client back to balance by feeling the comfort and warmth of the loving touch. This can fluctuate from long, medium depth strokes, to deep tissue. Again, it’s whatever the client needs in that moment.
