I have always been fascinated with the power of touch and helping people feel better. The ability to move muscle around and help it mend can be magical. Combining scientific knowledge and intuitive therapy provides a completely satisfying gift to you. I love being able to find tight spots and provide the perfect amount of pressure. You will receive a massage like no other; one that is just right.
My formal training includes Swedish Massage, Deep Massage, Sports Massage, Clinical Massage Therapy, Lomi-Lomi, Prenatal, and Hydrotherapy. I will continue to learn new modalities so I can offer you the best massage possible. The massage is about you, and the more I can offer, the better the massage experience will be for us both.
I discovered my passion for massaging while in the high school marching band. We would massage each other after carrying heavy percussion instruments on our shoulders all day. Word got around of which people had the knack for massaging and I had a line of people waiting. I haven't stopped since.
After a 12-year long career at Dell, I found myself laid off and re-evaluating my career path. I took advantage of the situation to do something I've dreamt of doing forever - becoming a Professional Massage Therapist. I enrolled at one of the most recognized massage schools in the US: The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School (TLC). I am thankful for TLC providing me with a strong foundation. David Lauterstein's Deep Massage taught me that less can be more and that massage is a two-way street; both the client and therapist must be on the same page for the session to be successful.
My other passion is music. I am a drummer, but also like to play guitar, bass, piano, accordion, sing, and anything else that makes a sound. I hope to complete my own music compositions soon for you to enjoy. I also love the outdoors. You will often find me by the firepit in our backyard or camping at Krause Springs. I have been married over 25 years to my beautiful supportive wife Amy, our grown up kids Alex and Valerie, and two cats Pebbles and BamBam.
I truly love doing what I do. My creativity allows me to incorporate various modalities on the fly and customize the most beneficial techniques for your needs. My motto is Helping the world relax one massage at a time, and it begins with each of you!
