In brief: I started massage in 2010. My goal for each client's massage is for them to feel better and be in a more balanced state when they are through with their session. To do that I use Swedish massage as the base, then incorporate some Thai, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue and Myofascial work to give a well-rounded massage depending on the client's needs. If I will need to do anything heavy, I also use heat before I work to warm up the surrounding area. For the fluffy part, (smiles) I love to use peppermint on the feet in hot towels at the end. It's nice for both men and women. Sometimes I use other essential oils also. It just depends on what someone has going on. I am also an LMT volunteer with ReturningVeterans.org, which is an awesome group with free massage, counseling and other services for Veterans returning from Iraq and/or Afghanistan. If you, or anyone you know qualifies, please look into their program. www.returningveterans.org
