Licensed Massage Therapist, Touch Educator, Board Certified Health Coach

About Me

I'm a Board Certified, Licensed Massage Therapist with decades of experience in healthcare and human service. I've provided over 8000 massages in my career, using a tool kit of therapeutic modalities customized to meet the needs and goals of each unique client. My training is hospital and wellness based, including study in Medical Massage and Craniosacral Therapy.

My hands-on style blends relaxation with clinical technique. Pressure may vary depending on the modality, the purpose, and each client's needs. I use my hands, forearms and elbows to address clients' physical discomforts related to muscular, connective tissue, and circulatory conditions, neurological stress and daily wear and tear. Equal parts massage artist, scientist and explorer, I rely on knowledge, curiosity and creativity to do my work.

I am also a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and Master Certified Intrinsic Health and Wellbeing Coach. I enjoy integrating coaching skills into meaningful conversations with clients like YOU, to support you in doing your best thinking about everything you are wanting for your health, whether on or off the massage table.

Education: Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy, Illinois State University (B.A. Psychology), Goddard College (M.A. Health), Intrinsic Solutions International
