I graduated from the Virginia School of Massage in Charlottesville, VA and passed the national certification test in 1998. I have been an interested AMTA member since graduating from the massage school. In recent years, I have become an active member serving as the state chapter secretary and I am currently an active member in the central Virginia area.
I am a part time massage therapist with additional expertise in applied psychology.
My practice philosophy: Massage therapy is informed/educated, ethical touch with the potential for healing muscle discomfort, re-establishing awareness of, and connection with, the body and breaking down social isolation and the associated psychological and spiritual alienation.
