Massage Therapist

I graduated from the New York Institute of Massage in January of 2010. Since then, I have worked in both medical and spa settings. I enjoy being able to provide my clients with medical and relaxation techniques so they can get the best of both worlds. As someone who has suffered on and off for years with migraines where massage therapy was one of the few things that helped, I obtained a certificate to specialize in headache and migraine massage in 2016 and have honed those skills since. I also have a certification in trigger point therapy which allows me to help my clients, especially headache and migraine clients, even more. I am on a mission to prove that massage is not just a luxury, it is a necessity. I am always up for a challenge and look forward to bettering myself for my clients.
When I'm not at work, you can find me reading, working on my library at home, or cuddling my dog Roscoe! Go Bills!
