I take a collaborative approach to massage therapy, engaging in non-judgemental listening to understand my patients’ unique needs. I enjoy creating an environment of relaxation while working to achieve my patients’ therapeutic goals. My treatments can be adapted for almost all patients to receive the mental and physical benefits of massage therapy. Drawing on my education in psychology and health sociology, I understand additional stressors which may be contributing to my patients’ clinical concerns. I believe in empowering patients with education and homecare.
