I’m a certified and California licensed Massage Therapist in the Carmel Valley, Carmel, Monterey, and Salinas area. I received my certification in Colorado and have been practicing massage therapy for twelve years. Prior to studying massage I was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 17 years and have my MSSW.

My philosophy about massage is that positive touch is healthy and supportive. I believe massage can add to our overall well being and is preventative care in that it reduces stress. A quiet massage relieves stress and creates a deep sense of calm. It has been shown that stress is a primary underlying contributor to dis-ease and illness. The mental ‘drifting’ and relaxation massage offers, is similar to meditation or light sleep and contributes to a sense of balance and ability to heal. Massage allows the body to become calm and neutralized so that mind may find more ease, resulting in more clarity. The more often one can do things that help create this state – the better!

l am ever grateful to have met Dr. Patricia Wolff and am now sharing office space at Carmel Valley Chiropractic Clinic, 6 Delfino Place, Carmel Valley, CA, 93924. I also do in home massage and work at a five star spa.

Providing therapeutic massage has changed my life. With each passing year, my understanding of and love for this intuitive practice deepens. Doing massage connects me to the giving nature of life and helps me extend love into the world.

Please contact me with any questions you may have about my modalities or about massage in general. I hope to hear from you soon!
