Our highly skilled massage therapists have extensive experience in relaxation and therapeutic massage, as well as training in a multitude of other bodywork modalities. Each has their own unique set of skills that they may incorporate into your massage. Your therapist will talk with you before your session to identify your goals and then create a session to assist you in achieving those goals. Due to our integrative approach, there is no additional charge when Deep Tissue and/or Aromatherapy are incorporated into your massage. Below is a brief description of the background and techniques offered by each of our therapists.
I graduated from the Arizona School of Integrative Studies in 1997 and am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). I have training in Deep Tissue, Swedish Massage, John Barns Myofascial Release, Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi, Raindrop Therapy, Aromatherapy, La Stone Therapy, Hot Rock Massage, Reiki, Reflexology, and Cupping. It is my goal as a therapist to customize each session according to your needs. I hope that massage therapy will help you not only reduce stress and muscle tension, but also give you a greater sense of well being.

Each session is customized for the individual.

My clients appreciate my ability to work deeply when needed.

With a heart for people and a passion for the healing arts I enjoy treating not only the physical but also the spiritual in each of my sessions.

I graduated in 1996 from The Humanities for Allied Health in Pinellas, Florida. Specific to bodywork, I have training in the modalities of Therapeutic Massage, Swedish Massage, Neurovascular Massage, Thai-Veda Massage, Reflexology, Reiki, and Raindrop Therapy. I am also a registered Yoga Teacher with over 500 hours of training. Along with teaching yoga, I have been facilitating mindfulness meditation courses, retreats and workshops since 2014. I enjoy using my collective skills to compassionately support the well-being of others. I teach privately to small groups and continue to work within various school districts supporting mindfulness.
I hope that your experience at Massage East will leave you with an embodied experience that is: balanced and grounded, relaxed yet invigorated, educated and empowered, nurtured and supported.
