Treatment Philosophy
"I believe that massage therapy goes beyond just relaxation - it's about understanding the root causes of muscular tension and dysfunction. Every person's body tells a unique story through their muscle patterns and areas of tension. My role is to listen to what the body is saying and use targeted techniques to work toward restoring balance, supporting mobility, and improving comfort. Whether you're an athlete recovering from injury or someone dealing with everyday stress and tension, my goal is to help you move better and feel better."
