I have attended 3 colleges and have always come back to Massage Therapy I began when I was 21. I have many years experience in several top spa's where I was always the top employee with the most "requests" in each one.
I have owned clinics (lots of referrals from MEDICAL DOCTORS & Neuroloists) & a DAY SPA. I PREFER TO KEEP IT SIMPLE AND Individualized IN MY CUTE LITTLE QUIET OFFICE IN SAN MATEO.
I am a passionate anatomist with a medical approach & holistic understanding!
Personally I grew up a surfer girl on an island off Charleston SC which led me to Hawaii in 1980 to compete in professional surfing. My latest love & workout is CROSSFIT. WWW.CROSSFIT.COM
A lifeguarding accident (sacral fracture and 2 ruptured discs and surgery) caused me to be bedridden for 2 years. Allopathic medicine no longer helped and chiropractic made it worse. This led me to Manual Therapies and Iyengar Yoga for relief of severe leg and spinal pain.Connoisseurs understand that the best healers are wounded healers.
I have studied and practice many powerful techniques from very subtle (MLD-MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE & Cranial Sacral Therapy) to very deep -Rolfing, Acupressure, Neuro-Muscular Therapy, Rossiter Coaching, Thai Medical Massage, Myofascial Release, Breema Bodywork, and LaStone Therapy.
In 1985 I opened my first practice in Haleiwa on the North Shore where I stayed surfing and practicing massage therapy and Iyengar yoga for 20 years.
I am happily married with 2 almost perfect Chihuahua's and live and do Bodywork in San Mateo, CA
