I grew up in Australia and now call California home.
Japan was my recent stop where I learnt Shiatsu techniques from a master. My travels have taken me through Asia & Europe, sampling health treatments from Balinese 5-star resorts to blind Nepalese holy-men. I have practiced at natural therapy centers, sports clinics, medi-spas, ski resorts and my own studios.
I enjoy massaging so much that I miss it when I don't do it! I give a truly deep tissue massage without the usual pain & discomfort people associate with massage. I believe the aim of massage is to get the muscles and nervous system to relax & release, so your body's self-healing mechanisms can work optimally. I find that perfect pressure...go too deep and the muscles contract..the exact opposite of what we are trying to achieve!
A large range of clients seek my services, including:
Professional athletes integrating massage into their training
Pregnant mothers supporting their bodies
High-stress people keeping their sanity & avoiding heart attack
Birthday recipients getting a special treat
Injured clients wanting a speedy recovery
People in need of nurturing through a challenging period of life
Mature clients managing degenerative ailments
Computer users wishing to correct their posture
Being an outdoor enthusiast, hiker, gym buff and Bikram yogini gives me a deep, personal understanding of body mechanics. I hold a Certificate in Massage Therapy with Distinction, along with First Aid certification. I have diplomas in Yoga Teacher Training and Thai Massage. I completed a Bachelor Degree in Environmental Science and an a CMT with ABMP membership.
I look forward to treating you on the massage table soon!
