An oncology massage is an individual massage session designed to meet you where you are in the moment. Taking into consideration whether you are in active treatment or have a history of cancer, what type of cancer you have or have had, what treatments you are having or have had in the past. What you are experiencing and how we can work together to create and collaborate a safe and effective session to meet your needs, goals, and expectations.  More…

If you are thinking about scheduling a session with me please read this first. Due to the current pandemic I cannot provide massage therapy and comply with social distancing being six feet away. I have a small home office and can only see a very limited number of individuals each week. I will require each person to have a phone conversation and orientation as well as completing a new digital intake form. Payment will also be required to be touchless by Square or by use of the Unite for Her Passport. Each session will be created and cultivated to meet your needs and goals. Here is a quick overview of the areas I specialize in so you can see if we could work together well. More…

I am committed to providing inclusive, knowledgeable and compassionate massage therapy and bodywork in my practice. This is a LGBTQ friendly practice. I want to be inclusive of everyone regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, age, beliefs, size, diagnosis etc. In my opinion there are way too many people that are not being treated well in this world. It is not a contest of who is discriminated against the most. I know that sounds good in theory and can be messy in practice which is why I want to invite you to contact me, let’s have a conversation and we can share information before we schedule a session together.  More…
