I am so blessed to be joining the team at Bodies in Balance. I look forward to helping you relax, rejuvenate, and revive. My practice includes a smooth flow Swedish, activating your Parasympathetic nervous system. I include active and passive stretching, trigger point work, varied pressures (including targeted firm pressure) and techniques to help you unwind and live your best life. I enjoy giving Reflexology and Reiki.
My advanced training includes myofascial bodywork, with an emphasis on the head neck and jaw.
Communication is important to me. I listen to you, and watch for physical and nonverbal communication.
Ending the session, I may provide you with information regarding modifications to daily activities and a possible stretch. Long term health and wellness are the goals of each session.

I am a seasoned massage therapist and bring a solid skill set to my practice. I am fluent in a full range of massage techniques from Swedish and Lomi Lomi to deep tissue and trigger point.  I blend techniques to tailor each treatment according to the client’s presenting challenges and their intentions for the session.  My advanced studies are more energy and trauma release oriented, founded in the principles of integrative craniosacral work and polarity therapy.
In the course of my years in practice, I have supported clients in overcoming challenges to the mind, body, emotions and the soul.
 
I listen well and value the importance of communication with my clients about assessments and treatment plan proposals. Each session ends with self-care solutions to keep the energy moving, expedite their own healing and get profound, long lasting results.
 
I am grateful to join the stellar team here at Bodies in Balance.  It is an honor to offer up my practice in service for the community here in Flagstaff.

Having worked with patients to help them ease the stress and tension in their lives by performing and applying Reflexology to their hands and feet, I am dedicated to providing clients with the best care possible.  I like to help clients get the knots out, and integrate Swedish Relaxation, Deep Tissue, and gentle stretching. Each massage is designed for individual client’s needs and I sometimes integrate specialties such as Hot Stone Massage for total body relaxation. I often provide clients with guidance and information about techniques for postural improvement, as well as stretching, strengthening, relaxation and rehabilitative exercises to help clients achieve a pain free lifestyle.

I love helping clients relieve pain and improve their mobility.   I worked with a chiropractor for many years and have experience with a wide range of injuries and pain conditions, including sciatica, low back pain, shoulder injuries, headaches, and neck pain.   

I also have experience helping athletes recover from sports injuries such as tendonitis, IT Band tightness/pain, and strained muscles.

In my sessions, I integrate Sedona Swedish Relaxation, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, and gentle stretching to mold every massage to each individual client’s needs. I’ve continued my education with specialties such as Neck Release and Cranial Unwinding, which help people who suffer from headaches and migraines.

 I’ve also studied Low Back Release which reduces lower body aches as well as sciatic pain. These therapies have proven helpful to cyclists, runners, swimmers, as well as those who spend a good portion of their day sitting in front of a computer. 

 My training and experience helped me achieve a greater understanding of the total body connection so I often suggest stretching and postural corrections to help clients live pain free.
