As a graduate of the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy and many years of practice and training, I bring a wealth of knowledge of the body and strongly believe in its innate ability to heal itself when relaxed. My specialty and focus areas are Relaxation and Oncology massage. My goal is to help people find a positive experience in their bodies – despite illness, trauma, pain, or any other obstacles that stand in the way. When the body is relaxed and feels safe, it is more supported to heal.
My calling to this profession came as the result of my personal experience many years ago when massage therapy played an important role in my own healing. It has become my passion to take what I have learned and integrate it into my own massage practice to help others find their own sense of peace, relaxation and safety in their bodies. Massage therapy can help to integrate the body and mind, release pain and stress, and promote overall health and relaxation.
I am NYS licensed as well as nationally certified to offer massage in most states in the U.S. I offer a wide spectrum of massage modalities, including a certification in oncology massage which provides the knowledge, skills, and abilities to meet the unique needs of people with cancer as well as survivors in remission. I should also mention that I worked for the CR Woods Cancer Center in Glens Falls, NY for 3 years offering alternative treatment to cancer patients as an on site massage therapist. I stay informed and current in my field by reading up on the latest research and participating in regular continuing education.
Each of our sessions includes an intake and is carefully tailored using a combination of chief complaints, health history and a sprinkle of intuition 🙂 While many clients are looking for overall relaxation, others may need to have specific muscular needs addressed. * Please note that I rarely resort to deep tissue or deep pressure massage for muscular releasing*. Instead, my intent is to relax the body enough so that muscle’s will release on their own. I work with ONLY 100% certified organic jojoba oil which is hypoallergenic and a high-grade oil that most closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum.
My private practice space is located in a lovely, tranquil office in Saratoga Springs, NY. The convenient and assessable building offers ample parking as well as elevator and handicap access. * Please visit by appointment only.*
