9/29/2021: As part of caring for my clients, I took the J&J Vaccine today. In my opinion the Covid-19 Delta variant is more deadly than the first version, tipping the scales toward risking vaccine side effects. Every person should be free to make their own choices about their health, without recrimination or force from either 'side' in this debate. Time will tell which choice is the right one. Meanwhile, every client of mine is respected and treated as a friend!

I am so glad I found Massage! It is what I was born to do. It feels great to be able to change a stressed-out, hurting client into a happy, pain-free client. I really enjoy providing a space and time for clients to forget about the world for a while. Most modern people ignore their bodies and don't listen to the signals they are getting from them. It is very fulfilling to help put mind and body in touch with each other again. I enjoy teaching clients how to help themselves to achieve optimal health. The body is an amazing machine that will heal itself if we only give it a chance.
I have been married to my high school sweetheart David for 40 years now. We have three grown-up kids and two grandsons scattered across the country. Besides Massage, I enjoy reading, riding (horses and motorcycles), singing, and hunting . I was a stressed-out office manager for many years before discovering the gift of massage; I really do "feel your pain" !
