I have been involved with some Workers Wellness Program through chair massage for employees, which proved to increase energy and productivity among the workers.
I specialize in deep tissue treatments without the discomfort. I am also comfortable offering relaxation treatments. I believe that quality treatment involves full attentions and commitment from both the therapist and patient. My goal is to meet each patient’s specific needs through one – on – one interaction during treatment session.
My approach to Massage Therapy and sport injury treatments is to promote health and wellness through preventative care. I look forward to helping restore people’s health and well being.
As part of my commitments to excellence, I am continually updating my education by taking courses to enhance my skills as a therapist.
