About Me
Before becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist, I danced with the world renowned Joffrey Ballet for 10 years. My experience as a dancer has given me tremendous insight into the human body and how it works.
Transitioning from my career as a dancer into the field of massage therapy, I have had the privilege of working on colleagues in the Joffrey Ballet and other major dance companies including Hubbard Street Dance and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. This opportunity has increased my expertise and passion in the massage field. In addition, I have had the amazing opportunity to massage a legend in the dance world, Mikhail Baryshnikov. I've also worked on Broadway artists from shows such as Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Aladdin, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Newsies, Billy Elliot and Hello, Dolly!
Whether you are looking to address a clinical issue or simply relax, I intuitively combine the modalities of: Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sports Massage.
Massages
Swedish
The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body.
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time.
Sports
Sports Massage is geared toward athletes of every kind. It focuses on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements.
