I enjoy meeting new people and helping my clients solve problems through holistic treatment plans. I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from massage treatment, whether it is to decrease stress or to prevent/treat injuries. Through my 24 years of experience operating as a Registered Massage Practitioner at Essence Massage and Spa, my goal is to restore and strengthen the well being of my clients through education about body awareness and injury prevention techniques with the long-term purpose of maintaining your healthy lifestyle.
