About the Therapist

For over 30 years I have been practicing therapeutic massage, and specializing in neuromuscular therapy (NMT), structural integration, myofascial therapy, Craniosacral, and sports recovery therapy.

Besides many hours of continuing education in multiple modalities of healing, I also had an extensive 2 year apprenticeship with Elli Rock who was taught directly by John Uplegder D.O. (one of the fathers of Craniosacral therapy), and Paul St John (creator of the St John Neuromuscular Pain Relief Institute.) With this apprenticeship I feel confident to offer my services as not only a massage therapist but also as a trained Craniosacral therapist with years of experience under my belt.

Utilizing my training, together we can access what would be the most effective treatments to help you through your personal health journey, whether you have experienced an acute trauma, or are dealing with a long term and chronic condition that is causing physical and emotional pain.

My massages have been categorized as: deep tissue massage, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, neuromuscular massage, sports massage, and Swedish massage, along with the work I do as Craniosacral therapist.

After living between Marquette MI and Lake Tahoe NV (where I had a private practice for 19 years between 1998 and 2017), I am happy to be back in Marquette full time, enjoying the forest with my family, and continuing my passion of bringing healing to my community.
