Our Services

Craniosacral Therapy

Craiosacral therapy is a profoundly relaxing, light touch therapy that benefits the brain, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and organs.  I have been practicing and teaching craniosacral therapy for nearly 30 years.


Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes.

Lymphatic Drainage

Lymph drainage is a very gentle hands on method of freeing the flow of lymph and encouraging the effectiveness of the lymph nodes.  


The lymphatic system is a most marvellous part of our bodies.  It is integral to our immune system function, both with infection fighting and with auto-immune conditions.  Via our lymphatic pathways and lymph nodes, we detoxify (break down and render harmless) everything from spider bites, air pollution, industrial chemicals, and other environmental poisons, to internal congestion from inflammation, old and broken down body cells, and more.


Clients often seek lymphatic drainage for post-operation optimization, detoxification, mental clarity, chronic inflammation, acute or chronic Lyme disease, and pain.


I studied with Bruno Chikly, MD, who pioneered a way of working with the inherent peristaltic motion of each lymph vessel and node,  There is something very special about this level of respect and skilled attention to the tiny, beautiful movements of our bodies. Chikly lymphatic drainage sessions are sweetly relaxing...  Of all my techniques, clients are the most likely to fall asleep during lymphatic drainage sessions.


I am not certified to treat uncontrolled lymphedema at this time.  I can be a supportive adjunctive therapy for lymphedema clients who are also the under care of a certified practitioner.


Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes.

Acupuncture and Manual Meridian Therapy

Hair thin, flexible needles are gently inserted at the body's acupuncture points to free the flow of blocked energy, leaving you feeling more relaxed, revitalized, and clear.  Many different health complaints are effectively addressed by acupuncture; the WHO recommends acupuncture for disturbances ranging from stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, to digestive problems, musculoskeletal pain, and women's health issues.


I also offer "manual meridian therapy:"  hands-on qi gong healing techniques, visceral manipulation, cupping, and tui na massage techniques used in combination with acupuncture, or in needle-free treatments for clients who dislike needles.  MMT directs the movement of qi through the meridians, body, craniosacral, or lymphatic systems. MMT and  acupuncture mutually enhance one another for a unique and potent optimized treatment.


Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes.

Therapeutic Massage

I have a wide range of techniques to address pain, stress, and the deep human need to receive loving, non-sexual touch.  Very few massage therapists practice for longer than five years, but I have over twenty-five years of practice.  This means I understand how to engage your muscles and nerves in just the right way for you to be able to get exactly that massage you've been looking for.


I specialize in neck and headache pain.


Sessions are 30 minutes for massage only without also incorporating craniosacral or lymph drainage.  Most of my sessions blend many advanced therapies, and I rarely do "just plain massage" for an hour session.

Cupping and Gua Sha

Cupping is found in traditional medicine systems across the world, from Egypt, Palestine, all across Asia, and even by grandmas from the Deep South of the US with Ball jars!  I was trained in Traditional Chinese Medical cupping therapies, and combine my knowledge of the lymphatic and fascial systems to increase effectiveness.


Cupping moves stagnant blood and lymph, and is a very effective adjunctive therapy for many conditions that one would normally seek deep tissue massage for.  However, because of the lifting rather than the pressing action of the cups, many adhesions, stagnant circulation, and trigger points are able to be relieved that are unable to be alleviated by deep tissue alone.


Facial cupping in particular is a real treat; we don't realize how much tension we hold in our faces, or how radiant and smooth our skin becomes with this lovely gentle therapy.


Sessions are 30 minutes.
