About Me

I am a nationally board certified massage therapist with over twenty years of experience. I am also a continued education provider, a published author, a researcher and speaker. I have and maintain several advanced therapy certifications including orthopedic massage, manual lymphatic drainage massage, cupping (traditional fire and using the Medi-cupping system), scar tissue mobilization and post surgical joint replacement rehabilitation massage. 

Five years ago I began treating patients with High Impact Chronic Pain. This population is one of the most under-served populations in America with over 25 million people living with debilitating pain. Currently we have 1 nationally board certified pain specialist for every 10,000 patients. Mt unique light touch techniques help to desensitize over responsive nerves and helps to show the patient that there are treatment options to help manage their pain. My ultimate goal is for the patient to return to the life they love,

I am passionate about massage and serve my profession in a number of ways. Currently I am a former American Massage Therapy Association national president, a subject matter expert with the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and an advocate for the pain population in my work with AMTA and the US Pain Foundation.. I enjoy working with clients of all ages to reach their treatment goals.
