I experienced constant pain from TMJ since 1980, and could not find relief in traditional medicine. While in massage school, I was introduced to many different treatment modalities to relax and relieve stress and pain. I wanted to find relief in natural, holistic treatment methods, which pushed me toward Myofascial release and Craniosacral therapy. 

In 1988, I arrived at the John Barnes Myofascial release series. I received so much relief of my pain, both physically and emotionally, during that seminar series. I knew this was the type of therapy I wanted to share with others. A few years later I attended Upledger’s Craniosacral Therapy style of techniques, which works with and compliments MFR well. By combining the practice of Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy I have regained the ability to enjoy, love, and embrace life to its fullest,

Years of training and experience have taught me the path to wellness comes through:

     First, free the fascia

     Second, self-treatment with fascia release techniques

     Third, myofascial stretching 

     Finally, following a tailored strengthening program
 

I specialize in treating a variety of health concerns such as:

     Chronic Pain

     TMJ

     Fibromyalgia

     Migraines

     Lyme Disease

     Women’s Health Issues and More

I enjoy working with clients and patients in all stages of life.

I have extensive experience in teaching others the effectiveness and use of self-treatment with various tools and techniques to improve quality of life from home.
