Shiatsu is an acupressure form of massage. The Japanese word literally means "finger pressure". Like acupuncture, Shiatsu works with a system of meridians, which are lines of energy running along the surface of the body. Each meridian relates to a different organ of the body. This energy can actually be shown by measuring changes in electrical resistance. In ill health this energy is out of balance. Some meridians may have too little energy flow, while others may have too much. The goal of Shiatsu is to balance the energies by applying pressure to specific points. When the energy is balanced, often the symptom will disappear.

I have treated patients from automobile accidents with medical massage therapy since 2004. I travel statewide. With my experience, I can customize treatments and pressure from light to very hard and deep to fit a patient's needs. I am a thorough therapist with extensive knowledge when treating and I listen to a patient. I have a Masters in Exercises Physiology from Eastern Michigan University and a Bachelor in Kinesiology from Louisiana State University. I was born and raised in Jackson, Michigan. Outside of practice, I teach step aerobics, president of a homeless shelter and a trustee at my church back home. I like to travel
