Upon graduating from NHCTC, Nashua with over 750 hours of training, I began my private practice in Brattleboro, VT. As a student, I had the honor of being educated by some of the finest professionals that were able to share their knowledge and years of experience in fields such as chiropractic care, sports medicine, health care (Eastern & Western), and of course massage therapy.
In addition to managing my practice located in Brattleboro VT, I have experience in both spa and health club environments performing massage. I continue to explore the training and educational resources that are available to me so that I am able to further help my clients.
My style has changed quite dramatically since I began my practice as I've come to further appreciate the mind / body connection. When a client is on my table, I am so much more aware of the person, rather than just the body that I was trained to work on. We are more than skin, bones and muscles and when our individual bodies are nurtured and cared for, our minds and spirits are being nurtured as well.
Massage & touch are simple, yet highly effective ways to encourage the release of physical discomfort as well as deeply held emotional discomfort. Both our bodies and our minds become exhausted; I've observed a wide range of physical & emotional responses from clients since I began my practice and each has served as proof to me that the right approach to massage therapy can be far more effective than many other treatments for issues such as joint pain, fibromyalgia, mild depression & irritablility, anxiety, headaches, and disturbed sleep patterns.
I truly believe that touch allows us to understand what it means to be still, quiet and to "go within" rather than seek outward, unhealthy and sometimes self destructive distractions as a form of escapism. Massage and touch therapies have the unique ability to affect our entire being - from the spiritual plane all the way up to and including our chemical composition. An effective massage session offers trust, comfort, and an opportunity to let go of all worry & discomfort as well as an opportunity to discover a feeling of wholeness and to be connected to self.
To achieve balance of body, mind & spirit is to acquire overall good health and happiness!
