Vision ~ Realizing a Dream

I follow the gift of touch to create more public awareness of the benefits of therapeutic massage, through successful individual experiences. Creating a sacred, confidential space allows for personal expression and a healing atmosphere. I strive to bring a focused presence that teaches the heart and the body how to be aware in the moment, and to live in the path of right livelihood.

As a graduate of Heartwood Institute and the School of Shiatsu and Massage, I am continuing to evolve as a bodyworker. Benefitting from the experience of working in a premier local spinal clinic, allowed me to create a successful private practice. I then discovered the beautiful art of Watsu (massage floating in warm water). This took me on a journey to realize a dream of bringing Watsu to the North Coast. With education, practice, patience, persistence and love, I created a public Aquatic Bodywork Center in Humboldt County - fully wheelchair accessible.

As a venue to introduce Watsu Therapy and Waterdance to the public, I attend Health Fairs, Craft Fairs, and Career Expositions, doing seated massage and giving presentations on the physiological, psychological, and emotional benefits of massage. I work closely with health care professionals for the optimal benefit of the individual. By maintaining personal and professional ethical standards - held by my National Certification and AMTA membership - I insure the integrity of service to my clients, reflecting positively on this profession.
