What kind of pressure can I expect to receive?

The level of pressure I work in entirely depends on the clients’ preference. That said, I tend to work around medium to medium-light pressure. Ultimately I want the client to feel relaxed and safe.

​

What modalities do you use the most?

I use a combination of deep tissue, Swedish, myofascial release, trigger point and acupressure in my practice.

​

What got you into bodywork?

In my previous career, full time computer work led to chronic neck stiffness and shoulder pain. I discovered that self-care was essential in affecting postural and repetitive stress injuries for the better. This led me down a path to bodywork during a time that I was re-evaluating my career in advertising. During my schooling at McKinnon Body Therapy Center, I had never felt better when receiving (and giving) bodywork on a regular weekly basis. Regular bodywork can do wonders for the body and mind.

​

What other elements of your life do you bring to your bodywork?

love being in the outdoors and do everything I can to bring that peace that I feel to my daily life. I hope to bring a calming presence in my work as a massage therapist.
