I offer both massage therapy and a separate therapeutic treatment modality. I don’t combine the two within the same session, as I believe doing so can diminish the effectiveness of each. Instead, I keep them distinct to fully tailor each experience for the greatest possible benefit. This is just how I work personally.

What sets me apart is my background in sports and my own history through sports and work related injuries. I incorporate NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) as a key component of the rehabilitation process. While passive treatments may provide temporary relief, they often take longer to create lasting change.

I’m deeply passionate about movement and anatomy, and I see myself as both an observer and a lifelong learner. During therapeutic sessions, I enjoy diving into the details—explaining how your body works and what’s going on with your specific condition. You’ll always know what I’m doing and why, every step of the way.

For the NKT therapeutic sessions, these sessions are done clothed so wear comfortable athletic wear.

Progress is often noticeable after the first session. Acute or recent injuries typically resolve more quickly than long-standing, chronic conditions. The longer an issue has been present, the more likely your body has developed compensation patterns. Because of this, it’s usually not realistic to resolve everything in a single visit—if it took years to develop, it will take more than one session to fully address.
Over-treating can also overwhelm your system, so a measured approach is important. As we work through layers of imbalance, it’s not uncommon to uncover new compensation patterns along the way—this is a normal part of the process.

It depends. I wish I could give a precise answer, but the body is complex and each person’s experience is unique. In some cases—especially with acute or isolated injuries—results can be long-lasting or even permanent. However, if your condition is tied to repetitive habits, like sitting at a computer all day, maintaining those results will require some ongoing effort on your part. With the right adjustments, though, improvements are typically noticeable.
