When I was in the Army, I was injured overseas, and told I might never get a full range of motion back in my neck. I decided to look at other options. Once I started to receive Massage regularly, I was able to start taking baby steps back to complete health and getting the full range of motion back to my neck! Why stop there? I was so enthusiastic about my triumph. I decided to go to school to learn how I could help others going through similar setbacks.
I started school in early 2003 and became Nationally Certified in 2005. Athletes I've worked on include the Norfolk Admirals Hockey Team, several athletes from Notre Dame, Virginia Beach Mariners Soccer Team, S.E.A.L. team members among many other Special Forces teams. I also work on numerous World Champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters as well as Mixed Martial Artists. I've worked for Dr. Denton Weiss and Dr. Richard Rosenblum performing pre-surgical Massage- stripping adhesions out of the way for more comfortable procedures then lymphatic Therapy for post-surgery helping to speed up the healing process and minimize fibroids.
In 2019, I worked for the strongest man in history T.V. show, before opening up my private practice, here in my hometown.
One of my favorite warriors to work on is the most feared warrior of all... the M.O.M.! People who are not staying at home mothers have no idea how difficult this task is. It takes a lot of strength to try to keep everything moving on time, on track, and with a smile on her face. When you have the car packed, the lunches packed, the kids, husband, and pets fed, watered and pottied then the baby drops his binky in the back seat, and you reach around to get it to stop him from screaming louder than an ambulance siren, and you strain a muscle- THAT my friends is a unique force. The one that makes you push through to get to where you're going. How about before you get wound up so tightly that you hurt yourself and can't take care of anyone else, call me. I promise I can help. I have an official stamp from the guarantee fairy ;)
It's very upsetting when you're in pain, and you go to get a massage and leave feeling worse than when you walked in. I've been their plenty of times, unfortunately, and I promise that stops with me. When you're on my table, you're in good hands.
