I have given more than 200 massages in the past 18 months. Like snowflakes, not one body is the same! Many have similar symptoms located in the same areas of the body. Day to day busy lifestyles, physical limitations that create overuse, high stress and/or physical jobs, sitting at a computer/viewing mobile devices, I have found, are the main reasons that my clients have aches, pains, anxieties, tension, and limited range of motion. Thus, they call on me to help them.
When I began the Therapeutic Massage program at Lenoir Community College, my main goal was to keep at least one person from turning to pain medication for pain management. In this, I have succeeded. I was recently told by a client (in their 60s, has a heart condition, diabetes and was sedentary) that I am their pain medication! This was after only four sessions! Confirmation!!
I believe in the healing power of human touch and the many benefits it transmits. Benefits such as pain relief, anxiety/tension release, increase of immune function, increase of range of motion, gives comfort and improves health outcomes are some of many more! I am certain that all of you experience one of the above and I am confident that I can assist you in your healing and well-being.
You can see my list of current modalities on my services and rates page.
