I love working with people who are interested in healing naturally using their own abilities. I help to connect people with that potential. Becoming relaxed and pain-free are good starting points in this process. My hands are very good at listening to the body and bringing awareness to dysfunction so that it be brought back to balance. I am comfortable working with all ages and body types and have 20 years experience and advanced training in many modalities.
