“As a massage therapist, my journey began with a profound intrigue for the intricacies of the muscular system, driving me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at San Francisco State University. This academic foundation ignited a passion to translate theory into hands-on healing, leading me to the San Francisco School of Massage and Bodywork. Here, I acquired a diverse toolkit encompassing deep tissue massage, myofascial release, sports massage, and neuromuscular therapy. With each session, I approach my craft with a blend of scientific precision and intuitive understanding, customizing treatments to address the unique needs of each client, fostering holistic wellness and restoring balance to the body.”
Specialty
With a comprehensive foundation in massage therapy techniques, I specialize in a diverse range of modalities tailored to address various client needs. Deep tissue massage allows me to penetrate layers of muscle tissue, relieving chronic tension and promoting deep relaxation. In sports massage, I apply specialized techniques to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and accelerate recovery. Neuromuscular therapy enables me to address trigger points and nerve compression, providing relief from chronic pain conditions. Additionally, I offer specialized care for pre- and post-natal clients, utilizing safe and effective techniques to alleviate discomfort and support the body’s changing needs throughout pregnancy and beyond. Whether it’s athletes seeking to optimize their performance, business professionals looking to alleviate stress and tension, individuals recovering from injuries striving to regain mobility, or older adults seeking to maintain their health and vitality, I approach each client with empathy, compassion, and a commitment to personalized care.
