I have been a believer in the many benefits of massage since I first received one in 2002. I had injured my back doing some heavy lifting at work and the pills my doctor prescribed provided only temporary relief, with multiple negative side effects.  Desperate for a long term solution, I tried massage and was amazed that it helped immensely with my pain and had no side effects!  I soon decided it was time to embark on a career I believed in, doing something I passionately enjoy and helping people at the same time. 

I began my massage education at East West College in Portland in June of 2003 and graduated in 2004. Massage has been a full time job for me since I got my license in early 2005. My specialty is deep tissue and post injury rehabilitation but I also enjoy doing Swedish and prenatal massage. I have experience working on people of all ages, shapes, and sizes.
