About Me
*I am located in Columbia MO. Thank you for stopping by my website!*
I’m a certified Massage Therapist in Columbia Missouri. I received my certification in Colorado and have been practicing massage therapy for sixteen years. I worked at a premier spa in Denver for four years then worked at a Forbes five star spa in Pebble Beach CA for four and a half years. Prior to studying massage I was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 17 years and have my MSSW.
I believe professional massage can add to our overall sense of well-being and is preventive health care. Massage eases and reduces the effects of stress. A quiet massage creates a deep calmness. Studies have shown that stress is a primary contributor to dis-ease and illness in the body. The mental ‘drifting’ and relaxation that massage offers is similar to meditation or light sleep and contributes to our natural ability to heal ourselves. Massage allows the body to feel quieted, neutralized; the mind may respond with more clarity after a massage. The more often we can do things that create this state – the better for our health!
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.
I relocated to Columbia, this vibrant college town, in order to take care of my mom and be near my grad student son and daughter-in-love!
Contact me with any questions you may have about your specific needs and my modalities or about massage in general. I hope to hear from you soon!
