About us
When looking for a Massage Therapist, you want to find someone with the clinical skills as well as nurturing touch that makes massage so fantastic. Let me explain why, if you live in Matthews or Charlotte, NC, I am that Massage Therapist.
Most people visit a Massage Therapist for pain or stress management. Pain is a very interesting and complex topic, as there are so many causes. If you are dealing with stress or pain, you want to make sure that your treatments are performed by someone that has the experience to know more than to simply "push where it hurts." That kind of massage can be wonderful feeling, but often leaves you feeling the same, or sometimes worse the next day. You don't get a massage for worse pain and stress! Massage Therapy should help to make your life better, and decrease that pain and stress.
So, why me? I have had a massage practice since 1992, and have about 5,000 hours of education. This education spans a great range of styles. Primarily, my style is goal oriented Clinical Massage Therapy. Having trained for 3 years/3,000 hours at The West Coast College of Massage Therapy in BC Canada, often regarded as North America's finest Clinical Massage Therapy School, I have learned to view the body in a clinical yet holistic manner. This means understanding which treatments benefit the various conditions you may be experiencing, and which treatments do not. This education provided me with an incredible array of tools for assessing and treating many of today's most common sources of aches and pains. Now that my Massage Therapy practice is in Matthews and Charlotte, I can bring this rare experience to you.
Having studied at Crystal Mountain School of Massage Therapy, in Albuquerque, NM, I can also integrate the more nurturing aspects of Massage Therapy into the treatments. This means that during your massage, not only are your clinical needs being met, your mental and emotional needs for stress reduction and a heartfelt touch are held in the... show more
highest regard.
Treatments typically do not follow strict time guidelines. My goal is to help you see results. We start with an hour as the basic relaxation treatment time, but as different bodies react at different paces, treatments often extend up to two hours. No extra charge is applied for this. It may aid your understanding to think of my style as, "Some recipes instruct you to bake at 350 for an hour. My recipe is to bake until golden brown. This can sometimes take more than an hour." Of course, if you have more specific time restraints, I am able to modify to your needs.
