My intention as a massage therapist is to not only help relieve your pain and stress, but to use massage as a vehicle to enhance general health and to serve as a model for natural health and wellness. To make sure that happens, I've integrated an array of techniques and perspectives into my practice to help my clients stay physically and emotionally healthy.
I studied nutrition, indoor air pollution and stress management at the Empire State College in Nyack, New York and then graduated in 1993 from the Swedish Institute of Massage Therapy in Manhattan. I bought a massage practice in Nyack at that time and there had maintained a full-time clientele for several years. After moving my residence to Westchester County in 2000, by November 2002, my business had evolved into a full-time clientele from both Rockland and Westchester Counties. Currently, I see some clients from Rockland County in their homes. Most other clients from both Counties, visit my Tarrytown home office, conveniently located in the Village of Tarrytown, NY, close to major highways and even close to the cut through to the Saw Mill River Parkway, near Pocantico and Eastview.
I've continued my massage education with an ongoing study of the body's energy field through Yoga, CranioSacral studies, Meditation and Homeopathy. In addition, I have incorporated into my practice techniques such as, trigger point, deep tissue, neuromuscular re-patterning and yoga, to name a few. And, I've become experienced in helping the aged and people with a myriad of conditions like, arthritis, fibromyalgia, torticollis, scoliosis, sprains, whiplash, tendonitis, anxiety, cancer and some chronic degenerative disorders of the nervous system, including Parkinson's disease. I am also certified in prenatal massage.
Aside from my massage practice, I am now in completion of 4 years of Homeopathic studies from the Classical School of Homeopathy in Gardiner, NY. Homeopathy is an energy medicine that works with the laws of healing mainly, like cures like, without being toxic to your system. It can address ailments that massage may only palliate going to the deeper levels of your being. This can be an efficient and rewarding way to eliminate what's at the bottom or the cause of why you may have certain chronic conditions.
Over the years, I've developed an intuitive gift for working with clients and, throughout most my life; I have sustained an ardent devotion to the harmonies in nature. The heart of my therapeutic approach is to develop a set of individual goals for each client then, use massage as an art and science along with my holistic background and education in the healing process, to ensure those goals are achieved.
