Am I the right therapist for YOU?

When it comes to self care, there is no one size fits all.  Every therapist has a different personality, approach  and overall style which may or may not be what you are looking for.

 

I would consider myself a relaxation specialist.  My goal is to make you feel comfortable, nurtured and safe.  The real healing happens when and only when the body, mind and spirit can relax.   My wheelhouse consists of Reiki healing and/or a medium to firm Swedish massage. Energy work and flowing massage moves blend with ocean waves, raindrops and calming music to lull you into a state of tranquility.  It makes my heart so happy when a client feels at ease enough to fall asleep on my table!

 

 I love meeting you where you’re at and offer many little complimentary extras to ensure your visit is just what you need.  Have cold hands or feet?  I  have a warm table pad for chilly toes and Himalayan hot stones for icy fingers.  Dealing with menstrual cramps? I can place a weighted heating pad over your belly while we work face up or over your low back while we work neck and traps.  I offer a chilled neck towel or cold stones to hold for my prenatal mamas or peri-menopausal hot flashers.  I use a warm, weighted eye pillow for those with migraines or one from the freezer with eucalyptus oil for sinuses and congestion.  Feeling on edge and anxious?  It might be a good idea to incorporate some lavender & Reiki into the massage.  Need a little guidance and clarity?  Pop in 5 minutes early and we will pull an angel card for you.  Let me know what’s going on when you come in and we will tailor it to ensure a perfect experience.  

 

Every session ends with some water and chocolate.  I hear chocolate is very grounding after bodywork (if you need a good reason to indulge ;).  Let the serenity continue by having a cup of tea by the fireplace. There is never a rush to leave.

 

If all of this sounds good to you, then I’m  your girl!

 

However, if you are looking for deep tissue, a quick 30 minute massage, targeted work after an accident or injury, lymphatic drainage, medical massage, same day or evening appointments, you’d be better suited with another therapist.  I definitely like to stay in my lane and do know some other wonderful practitioners who can help.  Reach out if you need a recommendation.

 

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time traveling with my husband Mike. For the past 21 years, we have raised and loved 3 dogs.  They were like our children.  Mr. Deeds, our yellow lab (2003-2014) was our first baby and taught us all about patience and unconditional love.  K9 Walsh (2007-2020) was Mike's first police dog.  He was trained in the detection of explosives and played a major role during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.  K9 Chance (2014-2023) was the second police dog and never ever was there a more gentle soul. These boys have all been reunited across the Rainbow Bridge and we think about them everyday.  We just know they are conspiring to send us the perfect pup and when they do we will be ready.
