About Me
I
am a graduate of Seattle Massage School and
have been in full time, private practice since 1996. I was first introduced
to Reiki was I was only 12 years old, when I was initiated into Reiki's first
degree of training in the Traditional Usui system of Natural Healing. I
combine my intuition with my advanced training in Swedish massage, Deep
Tissue and Energy work to create unique, client centered integrative bodywork
sessions for each of my clients.
I
specialize in providing therapeutic Massage and energy work to facilitate the
healing of injuries, encouraging wellness, relaxation and healing. I offer
Integrative and Intuitive techniques to encourage the Balance of the Mind,
Body and Spirit.
I enjoy working with people one on one and creating a
positive, safe space for healing and relaxation.
