What to book: I highly recommend a 90 minute appointment for first-time clients, as well as for clients with structural-muscle balancing issues. This allows you to get comfortable and relax in a new environment, and allows me the time to learn and assess the intricacies of your healing needs.
What to plan for: When planning for your session, please allow an additional 15 minutes for pre and post-massage consultation should it be needed.
If you must cancel or reschedule, 24 hours is kindly requested.

My practice is based on the belief that through the five senses we can heal much of ourselves and each other. Bringing together those ideals of calming sights, soothing sounds, healing touch, taste of pure nutrients and the powerful effect of desired smells take the extra load off of our daily paths.
My massages feature the addition of the subtle work of Meridian Massage. Balancing Yin and Yang Qi for Mind, Body and Spirit.
(*Otherwise known as using strategic acupressure in massage*)
