After many years of experience as a weekly massage client, I pursued professional massage training.  Now I am paying forward the benefits of massage work that I have deeply enjoyed.  I am fortunate to have a passion for my work.  I believe you will see that when working with me.

After a successful career in Higher Education, I was admitted into the Certified Massage Therapist program at the Healing Arts Institute in Fort Collins, Colorado.  I am now a Licensed Massage Therapist with the State of Colorado. 

My background and activities help me relate to my clients' needs.  It includes many years as a part-time aerobics teacher, moderate weight training, lots of bicycling, occasional hiking with friends, and dabbling in sports such as racketball, tennis, and volleyball.  I don't consider myself an athlete, but I can relate well to clients with sports and fitness goals.  My empathy with my clients' aches & pains and with their desires for wellness helps me provide the best massage for you.

 

My Philosophy:

I believe massage is an essential part of living well.  It can be relaxing, invigorating, healing, centering, and a way to release built-up tension.  My massage techniques can also provide performance enhancements for athletic activities.

I believe we naturally respond to therapeutic touch in positive ways.  It calms and comforts the body and the mind, creating a path to healing and wellness.  I believe massage promotes healing through mind-body-emotion connections.

 

Client comfort and trust is vital.  I strive to create an environment that is safe, quiet, non-judgmental, compassionate, friendly, and confidential.  A trusting environment is essential to foster the flow of work from therapist to client in a most beneficial way.

Among the terms my clients have used to characterize my work are "artful," "intuitive," "caring," "compassionate," "perfect pressure, "focused," and "good listener."

I am open to any questions about me or my work.  I will gladly discuss any concerns.
