I create a soothing mix of therapeutic, deep-tissue, and anti-stress work that meets you exactly where you are. Beyond that core blend, I also offer:

Post-surgical lymphatic drainage to ease swelling after plastic-surgery procedures

Sports massage tailored for fitness enthusiasts, runners, cyclists, triathletes, golfers, tennis players, and equestrian athletes

European specialties such as Spanish massage, neurosedative relaxation, reafirming and lifting facial massage, gentle facial lymphatic drainage for puffiness, and buccal (intra-oral) techniques

Craniosacral Therapy (Levels 1 & 2) and Somato-Emotional Release for deep nervous-system reset

Altogether, you have 25-plus proven techniques to melt chronic tension, speed recovery, and bring calm back to your body and mind.

Individual table sessions run 60 or 90 minutes. For your first visit, I recommend booking 90 minutes—it gives us the time to fully understand what’s going on and start making meaningful progress. Plus, you’ll receive $15 off your first session as a warm welcome. 

On-site chair massage is available in 10-, 15-, or 20-minute blocks for corporate events.

I accept credit/debit cards (processed securely through Square), cash, and Venmo.

For your very first visit, arrive 10 minutes early to complete the intake form. For all follow-up sessions, 3–5 minutes early is perfect.

Absolutely. All treatments take place on the first floor with step-free access.

We’ll start by reviewing your health history and goals, then do a gentle assessment of your soft tissues to understand where tension and imbalances may be coming from. I’ll walk you through my massage plan and make sure it feels right for you.

Then we begin the hands-on session. You’re always welcome to adjust the pressure at any point to make sure it’s as effective and comfortable as possible. At the end, I’ll share personalized self-care tips—like stretches, core activation drills, or ergonomics—and, if you'd like, a calming meditation to help the results settle in.

Massage therapy is typically out-of-pocket. I can provide a receipt you may submit to your HSA/FSA or insurer if your plan allows reimbursement.

For chronic pain or injury recovery, weekly sessions are ideal at first. Many clients move to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance once pain subsides.

Please give at least 24 hours’ notice. Same-day cancellations may be billed at 50 % of the session fee; no-shows are billed in full.

Yes—chair massage, micro-fitness breaks, and guided meditation programs that fit seamlessly into the workday. Contact me for custom packages.

Absolutely, with your doctor’s clearance. I adapt pressure and techniques to support healing, improve mobility, and avoid aggravating the affected area. Many clients share that after just one or two sessions, they experience noticeable pain relief, a sense of calm, and deep physical and emotional ease.

In Europe, I earned four university degrees—three in medical fields and one in psychology. After moving to the U.S., I became a licensed massage therapist, and also earned certifications as a personal fitness trainer and an emotional intelligence coach.

While my European degrees are recognized abroad, here in the U.S. I practice strictly within the scope of my U.S. licenses and certifications, focusing on bodywork and holistic wellness.
