About the Practitioner

After 42 years, I have retired from an active practice as an RN.    The skills that I brought to the patient can be greatly beneficial to my massage clients.  I have astute physical assessment skills, an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology, a clear understanding of medical conditions, and an appreciation of the effects stress and pain can have on the body.

My education at the River Valley Community College for Massage Therapy provided a well-balanced curriculum which included training in Swedish Massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, spa techniques, and aromatherapy.  I am a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals.  I also maintain membership in my professional nursing organization, the American Society of Perianesthesia Nurses.  

I maintain high ethical standards and provide a safe and respectful relationship with my patients and massage clients.  

As much as I enjoy my work, I love being active outside, hiking, kayaking, and jogging during my free time.  Of course, I find time for a regular massage to keep up with my active pastimes.
