Licensed Massage Therapist since 5/13/08.  Modalities include swedish, deep tissue, theraputic and acupressure.  " I enjoy using all my modalities in combination because each has such a variety of benefits.  I enjoy working on any muscular problem and I love to work with people who have frequent headaches.  From my experience, 90% of headaches are caused by some form of tension and as a massage therapist I have learned to relieve that tension.  I look forward to meeting you.  Please contact me if you have any questions and I will be glad to answer them.  Have a great day!"
