I have been a massage therapist since 1998 with over 650 hours training through The Chicago School of Massage. I integrate many techniques into a session that is tailored to respond to each client’s condition and goals. I am certified in pre-natal and postpartum massage, with additional training in craniosacral therapy, and chronic pain management.

As a Reiki level III practitioner, I also work with the energy body to offer a truly holistic treatment. As a yoga teacher, having completed 200 hours with the Kriya Yoga Temple program, I am able to design specific poses and breathwork for you to work with at home.

I have had a private practice in Evanston since November of 2000. Below is a list of the modalities I integrate in a session.

—Swedish massage: great for relaxation, increasing circulation, and to improve your immune system
—Deep tissue or muscle therapy: a more specific focus to a muscle group for chronic pain
—Myofascial release: to release tightness and restrictions in the fascia, a connective tissue just under the skin and surrounding muscle fibers.
—Trigger point therapy: to help release chronic pain in contracted muscles and increase circulation to the area.
—Craniosacral therapy: gentle movements on the head, sacrum, and areas of pain to increase cerebral spinal fluid flow.
—Reiki: devloped by Dr Usui of Japan, to balance the mind body connection using a gentle hands on touch.
—Pre-natal massage: To ease the discomfort during the stages of pregnancy and for post-partum recovery.
—Yoga: specific poses for postural imbalance and breathing exercises to calm the nervous system.
