simply being Massage Therapy is founded on the belief that
the client's needs are of the utmost importance. I am committed to
meeting those needs. As a result, the majority of my business is
from repeat clientele and referrals.
Before switching over completely to a private practice, I was the chiropractic assistant and massage therapist for Dr. Pike of Chittenden County Chiropractic. During this time, my hands on massage involved deep tissue, pain relief, and preparation for chiropractic treatment. These two modalities complement each other and together provide relief and comfort for patients. We share many clients, and my office is located in his building.
I receive regular bodywork myself, as well as continue my education to maintain a fresh outlook and approach. Currently I am studying Bowenwork, a gentle, non-invasive technique that has had incredible effect for many ailments across the world, but is new to the Burlington area. This modality has a profound effect on the body's innate healing ability, and has had a dramatic impact on my own health and well-being. See the Bowenwork page for more detail.

What To Expect From Your Session
Each session is tailored specifically to your needs, comfort
level, and pressure preference. It is important to feel at ease in order to allow
the relaxation and healing to take place. The client therapist relationship is extremely important, and communication is key. The following are things to expect coming in for either a massage or Bowenwork session:
- Comfortable massage table (with heat available) and full draping with clean flannel sheets.
- Your choice of organic oil or cream, unscented or with pure essential oil synergy from Lunaroma.
- Soft music or white noise for privacy.
- Your own time. There is no need for idle talk during your massage or Bowenwork session. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity.
Massage therapy and Bowenwork provides relaxation, pain relief, promotes
wellness, releases tension, calms the nervous system, and benefits every system of the body.
Finding the right fit with a therapist is important. I work with you to determine the most appropriate approach for your well-being. I would be happy to make recommendations of other professionals if need be.
This is your time to relax, rejuvenate, and revive your body,
mind, and spirit.
I
welcome the opportunity to work with you.
