A graduate from the Center for Natural Wellness in Albany, I bring a wealth of knowledge of the body and strongly believe in its innate ability to heal itself when in a relaxed state. I specialize in 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 massage had played an important role in my own healing. It has become my lifelong passion to take what I have learned and integrate it into my own massage practice as a way to help others find their own sense of peace, relaxation and safety in their bodies. Massage therapy can help to integrate the body, mind, and spirit, release pain and stress, and promote overall health and relaxation.
All sessions are based purely on what is specifically called for on that specific day for each client. Some sessions will blend energy work with massage, which can include Reiki and/or utilizing acupressure points as a means to clear the energy field. Other sessions may address specific muscular needs which would call for a more therapeutic approach incorporating Myofacial release, stretching, and some light to moderate pressured techniques. * 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. 100% certified organic jojoba oil is used as a lubricant in my work which is not only great for the skin, but also a high grade oil that most closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum.
I am NYS licensed as well as nationally certified to offer massage in most states in the U.S. In addition, I am certified in Reiki levels I, II, and III, Integrative Reflexology and continue to be a committed member of the American Massage Therapy Association. I am also certified in oncology massage, and grateful to have the knowledge and skill able to meet the unique needs of people with cancer or survivors who are in remission. With complete gratitude, I had the privilege of spending every Tuesday at the C.R. Wood Cancer Center at Glens Falls Hospital for over 3 years offering Oncology massage and Reiki Energy Healing to hospital in-patients, out-patients, and survivors who are in remission.
I stay informed and current in my field by reading up on the latest research and participating in regular continuing education. Most recently I have completed training hours in Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, and Integrative Reflexology.
My private practice is located in Saratoga Springs, NY and offers ample parking, an elevator and is handicap accessible. It would be my privilege to offer you a wide array of modalities including Oncology Massage, Swedish, Myofascial Release, Pregnancy, sessions infused with craniosacral therapy and Reiki Energy Healing. I look forward to working with you as we tailor each session to your specific needs.
