Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I enjoy treating neck, shoulder and lower back cases because I find that these are the most common areas clients experience discomfort. During treatment of these areas, I use a variety of techniques such as pin and stretch, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and fascial release. I also enjoy doing treatments for reduction of stress and anxiety by using soothing general Swedish massage techniques to promote relaxation.

What should I expect in your session?

Every client presents with unique symptoms and challenges, during a session with me you can expect that I will address your main concerns by collaborating with you to create a treatment plan that is client-centered and tailored to your specific goals. I will always take a compassionate and holistic approach to your care and I value creating a safe and enjoyable treatment environment. I also believe in the importance of calming the nervous system and treating the body as a whole by combining general and specific therapeutic modalities with relaxation techniques during your treatment session.

What are you proud of in your practice?

In my practice, I am proud of being able to assist clients with promoting positive changes in their overall health and well-being.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I actively listen to your concerns and your care is my number one priority. I will do my best to help you with achieving your treatment goals. Lastly, I will provide you with simple homecare recommendations and resources as needed for the best possible outcomes.
