MY STORY...
At a young age, I became a single mother, which sparked a deep concern for both my son’s future and my own. I was determined to pursue a career that not only allowed me to provide for us but also fueled my passion. Growing up in a wellness-oriented environment inspired me to enroll at the Finger Lakes School of Massage, with the goal of creating a better life for my son and myself. Now, as a licensed and trained massage therapist, I recognize the importance of prioritizing wellness. You either find time for it now or be forced to make time for it later. My mission is to guide others in finding that balance, helping them invest in their well-being today for a healthier tomorrow.

you touch everything."

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Swedish massage is a popular and versatile form of therapeutic massage that incorporates various techniques to promote relaxation, increase circulation, and alleviate muscle tension. It involves long, flowing strokes, kneading, and friction techniques applied with the hands and forearms. The pressure can range from light to firm, depending on the client's preferences and needs. Swedish massage aims to improve overall well-being, reduce stress, and enhance the body's natural healing process.
Myofascial release is a specialized manual therapy technique used to alleviate pain and restore movement by targeting the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. Through progressive pressure and stretching, myofascial release aims to release tension and tightness in the fascia, promoting relaxation, improved blood flow, and enhanced flexibility. This technique can be particularly effective in addressing chronic pain, injuries, and postural imbalances.
SPORT
LYMPHATIC
Sports massage is designed to enhance athletic performance, prevent injury, and aid in the recovery process. It involves a combination of techniques such as deep tissue massage, stretching, and joint mobilization to target specific muscles and areas of tension. Sports massage can help athletes improve flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and promote overall relaxation and well-being. Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, sports massage can support your body's optimal function and help you achieve your fitness goals.
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to promote the natural circulation of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. This specialized form of massage targets the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in immune function and detoxification. By encouraging the movement of lymphatic fluid, lymphatic drainage massage helps reduce swelling, alleviate inflammation, and support the body's natural detoxification process. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with lymphedema, post-surgery recovery, or those looking to enhance their overall health and well-being.
