CLINICAL MASSAGE - Treatment of injuries, musculoskeletal disorders and chronic pain syndromes
Through applications of disorder-specific neuromuscular massage and myofascial release techniques, I focus treatment on muscles, tendons and ligaments that are injured or inflamed to facilitate their lengthening, release and recovery.
RELAXATION MASSAGE - Improvement of general health and wellness
The value of putting the body into a relaxed state receptive to its innate ability to heal cannot be overstated. I use traditional Swedish massage, craniosacral therapy, and the more subtle modalities of Reiki and Chi Gung to help bring about deep, therapeutic relaxation.
BODYWORK FOR MUSICIANS - Treatment of postural and repetitive motion disorders typical among musicians
A performing musician for over 30 years, I have experienced injury and debilitation from inattention to my posture and use of my hands, arms and shoulders. I have evolved an approach for helping musicians get healthy and stay healthy while maintaining maximum dexterity and expressiveness in their practice and play.

WELLNESS COACHING - Design of programs incorporating fitness routines and meditative practices to facilitate self knowledge and greater wellness
In addition to my work as a Licensed Massage Therapist, I am available to discuss with clients their habits of self-care and wellness. Fitness, meditation, and practices encouraging self knowledge and more experience of the mind/body connection are areas often explored.
WELLNESS TRAINING - Presentations in corporate and institutional settings on meditation and personal inquiry to improve stress response and encourage harmonious relationships
I have taught meditation, stress management and methods of personal inquiry at the corporate office of a Fortune 500 company and to non-profit groups. I offer presentations and experiential workshops from one-hour to a whole day that can be adapted to any setting.
