Growing up in the Buffalo, New York area gave me the opportunity to attend The New York Institute of Massage, graduating in 2008. I am New York State and Massachusetts Licensed and Insured.

 I had practiced at Canyon Ranch Lenox for 5 years, with the majority of my practice in Neuromuscular Massage Therapy. Prior to my employment at Canyon Ranch Lenox, I found myself fulfilling a love of education; teaching various courses for The Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 

 I have enjoyed taking various Continuing Education courses in Advanced Medical Massage, I am Neuromuscular Certified, and a Certified Reiki II Practitioner. I have also taken Continuing Education in Ayruvedic Sciences and Techniques, Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, Aromatherapy, doTERRA RainDrop Therapy, Deep Tissue, Body Wraps, Scrubs and Masques, & Reflexology. 

Helping facilitate change and healing through various avenues of knowledgeable application of modalities has given me profound joy over these many years.

I have loved living and working in the Berkshires! Hiking with my husband, two children and dog is a favorite past time in the summer months and enjoying various snow sports in the colder months is something I always look forward to!

 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

 

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

  • Decreased anxiety.
  • Enhanced sleep quality.
  • Greater energy.
  • Improved concentration.
  • Increased circulation.
  • Reduced fatigue.
  • Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:
  • Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
  • Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
  • Ease medication dependence.
  • Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
  • Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
  • Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
  • Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
  • Increase joint flexibility.
  • Lessen depression and anxiety.
  • Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
  • Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
  • Reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling.
  • Reduce spasms and cramping.
  • Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
  • Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
  • Relieve migraine pain.
