I’ve been licensed in the art of Therapeutic Massage since 1998 with the majority of my practice being in service to clients in Atlanta. Buffalo is my hometown and I’ve returned with an eagerness to provide massage therapy services back home. Over my years in practice I’ve developed my own unique method of providing therapy. Integrating proven methods of alleviating discomfort and providing improvement where chronic or acute conditions exist. These techniques coupled with intuitive skills developed over years of practice allow me to provide the best level of therapy. It is with intention that I bring therapy to clients. Utilizing methods in the areas of Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Swedish massage techniques, Active/Isolated stretching, TMJ treatment, PreNatal approach for expectant Moms and a myriad of additional techniques learned through continuing education opportunities. As much as I enjoy bringing my best work to clients. I understand we all need balance in life. I find balance through music, socializing with bright minded people, enjoying opportunities to engage in the arts - whether it be taking in the talents of others on stage in the theater or roaming a gallery. I love travel - it’s a gateway to opening our minds to other cultures, environments and foods. I do consider myself a bit of a foodie. Grateful for the spring season upon us! Being outdoors and enjoying the benefits of the Great Lakes region has been one of the beauties of returning home. Peace and Blessings over your life. I hope to make your acquaintance soon

I graduated from the New York Institute of Massage in 2001. My specialties include medical massage, cupping, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, and myofascial release therapy. I believe that not one person can be massaged the same way every time, so I treat the problem area of each individual person and adjust my massage technique to assist in their healing. I have worked in many different fields within massage therapy, including managing the massage therapy department at Sisters Hospital for most of my career, where I learned and really advanced with medical massage. I also taught at Trocaire College and still work with the students in the clinic. I believe intuition and intention give the best massage and that is what I try to achieve every massage.
