I have been a practicing massage therapist since 2005 and I am licensed and insured in the state of Pennsylvania.  Over the course of my career, I have mostly worked for chiropractors, so my massage techniques have evolved into something that is deeply relaxing yet still focuses on problem areas.  During a massage session, I pull from many different modalities depending on what my intuition says my client’s body needs.  This can include but is not limited to trigger point therapy, myofascial release, gentle stretching, reflexology, and lymphatic drainage.  I’m also certified in massage cupping and have gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback from my clients who receive cupping therapy from me.

Aside from general aches, pains and muscle tightness, I have over a decade of experience working with things like sciatica, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, scoliosis, tension headaches, tennis elbow, and carpal tunnel.  My massage oils are botanically infused and I make most of them myself, so this only adds to the healing I can offer to clients on my table.

I am a judgement-free therapist and do not discriminate based on age, gender, sexual orientation, race, body type, religion, financial status, or ability.  I work on everyone: marathon runners, construction workers, new moms, still pregnant moms, busy parents, people with desk jobs (they can be the hardest on your body!), teens, grandmas….Everyone deserves healing touch!

My current rate is $75/hour for regular manual therapy, or $90/hour with cupping.

Be well!
