As a Certified Massage Therapist since 2001, I help people live healthier lives through skilled bodywork.
When you visit my comfortable office near downtown Campbell, we will discuss your unique body issues and tailor a massage session to address your needs.

Popular since the 1800s in the Western world, Swedish massage uses a combination of different strokes applied to skin with the aid of a lubricant (lotion or oil).
The goal is to promote muscle relaxation, improve circulation and reduce stress.
Clients privately undress, but may wear their underwear.
You then lie comfortably on a massage table covered with sheets and/or blankets to keep you warm and safe.
Starting with gentle, gliding strokes (effleurage), I will incorporate kneading and squeezing motions (petrissage) on stiff muscle groups to stretch and break down small adhesions in the tissues.

While deep tissue massage techniques are very similar to Swedish strokes, the difference is the amount of pressure and forcefulness that I apply.
This type of bodywork is especially helpful for injury recovery and chronically stiff areas, such as the neck, upper back, and shoulders.
People who have structural anomalies of the spine and muscles may also benefit from deep tissue massage.
Clients undress and lie comfortably on a table covered by a sheet.
After warming up the muscles with Swedish strokes and sometimes a moist heating pad, I use more focused techniques and firm, heavy pressure to get the deeper layers of tissue to release.

The human body is held together by layers of soft connective tissue called fascia.
Myofascial release is a gentle therapy in which the therapist applies extremely mild pressure for a sustained period to stretch the fascia until the tissue softens, or "releases".
The technique is used to relieve chronic pain and immobility caused by extreme tension in the connective tissue due to physical trauma, surgery or habitual poor posture over time.
Areas of focus often are the neck, jaw and back but this technique can be used anywhere on the body as required.

Acupressure is an ancient bodywork technique developed within traditional Chinese medicine.
It relates all parts of the body to one another through the flow of vital energy, or chi.
If your chi is flowing smoothly and unimpeded, you will experience health and vitality.
But if your chi becomes sluggish, imbalanced, or blocked then discomforting symptoms, pain and disease will develop.
I can help improve your flow of chi using gentle finger pressure at specific points along the energy pathways, called meridians, which travel from head to toe.
