My Story...
It was through my children that I learned our bodies could heal themselves and we have a natural rhythm that demands a healthy balance. I wanted to be involved with helping people find that healthy balance. This led me to become interested in massage as a vehicle for healing and to attend the Ashland Massage Institute in 1990. I moved to Forest Grove in 2003 and bought my current clinic with Dr. Crystal Hannan, ND in 2007.
My style of integrated massage allows me to use a variety of techniques to meet each client's needs. Swedish, Pressure Points, Movement, Stretching, Energy Work and Deep Pressure are some of the techniques I may use.
I specialize in Micro-Movement and find it is helpful with clients who prefer or need lighter work. It is also helpful with clients who have had accidents, injuries, or past surgeries. Using Micro-Movement has taught me that gentleness can heal and it allows the client to participate in his or her own healing. Micro-Movement enables the client to pay attention to developing comfort in the body and it is with attention that the individual can find a healthy balance for healing.
I truly love my work and feel I have a gift to offer others. My clients and I work toward a healthy, balanced body by working together to discover which techniques are best for them. I then teach them to enable their own healing process.
