I received my massage training from The Deep Muscle Therapy Center of Delaware. I graduated from DMTC in 1996. I worked in the professional clinic at DMTC. I was the instructor for the intermediate section at DMTC for a semester. After leaving DMTC, I have worked for spas and chiropractors mainly. I now have a home office (2024 is my 19th year working from my home office!) located in Northeastern Maryland. I am a Nationally Board Certified Massage Therapist, member of ABMP, and a Maryland Licensed Massage Therapist. In 2013 I finished my training for becoming a Reiki Master.
My hope for my clients is for them to get to a point where they no longer have pain and aches that go with daily living or certain medical conditions/injuries. I also aim for a reduction in stress and an increase in the ability to get a good restorative nights sleep.
Maintenance is important to me. I feel that frequent massage, be it weekly or even monthly is the difference in getting good results. Massage needs to be treated as a "must-need" instead of as a "luxury". We all have stress, aches and pains. Maintenance massage can be a positive addition to the busy lifestyle most of us have or as a compliment to other treatments for injuries and ailments. It is one of the best types of care you can do for your body.
Most clients describe me as being detail oriented, friendly, deeply caring, and professional. I make it a priority to listen to your concerns and customize the massage to what YOU need. I also have the reputation of being deep and precise with my palpation. I have an orthopedic/medical massage background with experience in relaxation/stress reduction as well.
