I have been practicing massage since 1992. I’m a graduate of the Chicago School of Massage Therapy and currently a lead faculty instructor at Cortiva Institue (formerly known as C.S.M.T.). I am certified in Ashiatsu and Hot stone massage and have taken advanced training in Myofascial release,Thai massage, TMJ dysfunction and reflexology. I believe that massage therapy plays an essential role in fostering a healthy lifestyle. Massage compliments any workout regime. By enhancing flexibility, body awareness and muscle tone, massage can help to prevent injuries and improve performance. I view massage as a non-invasive approach to stress-reduction and pain management. Massage is a great way to receive the nurturing touch we all need. I use a variety of techniques to reach the goals of each individual.
