I have been trained by the famed Swedish Institute in several modes of massage, including Swedish, medical, sports, Shiatsu (finger pressure/acupressure), kinesiology and aqua massage. I am also a Reiki master and ONA Practitioner and Instructor and do nutritional counseling.

My rate is $60 an hour, for in calls and due to the high gas prices and travel time out calls are $90 an hour, with massage table and oils or lotions as you prefer. If you choose to see me at my home, you can take advantage of the sacred space I've created for this purpose, with soft, beautiful music in the background and scented candles.

The word massage means, "the act or action of manipulation of tissues as by rubbing, stroking, kneading or tapping with the hand or an instrument for remedial or hygienic purposes." It is also for the stimulation of circulation and increase suppleness. It comes from the French Massa- (to handle) + -age (age).

In this case, therapy means "the treatment of the body for rehabilitation." It comes from the Greek word: Therapeia (healing).

The physical touch of another human being has been proven to have therapeutic benefit. It is called "the healing touch" and is a necessary part of the healing process, as well as a positive factor in maintaining wellness. I am sympathetic, caring, and skilled in the arts of easing discomfort and bring relief. Call me at (623) 205-8501 for an appointment.
