I have been practicing Massage Therapy since 1987, completing basic coursework at Crytal Circle Center and Kalamazoo Center for the Healing Arts. I subsequently completed 75 hours of Clinical Massage Training with Earl Timberlake, Several Craniosacral Therapy Courses with tthe Upledger Institute and Myofascial Release Therapy with Thom Myers and over 170 hours with John Barnes, In 2017 I completed my certification in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

My work generally uses a combination of therapies based on my clients particular needs and challenges. We spend time discussing what the client wants and needs and I share my insights as to what might be a course of action that will help them meet their goals. Making sure my clients know they are in control of the direction their session takes while also being educated about certain muscles that might create their symptoms and how Myofascial Release Therapy works on the connective tissue. investigating how the pain or muscle tension might have developed creates an atomosphere of trust and teamwork while also helping me determine a focused course of action with client input.
