Having spent most of my adult life studying the human experience, my practice starts with a foundation of knowledge, utilizing both skill and intuition, and a keen sense of empathy that has guided me throughout the years. I come from a family of healthcare professionals, and from a young age showed an affinity for the healing arts, having been exposed to them throughout my life. As such, I bring a diverse Anthropological tool-kit to my practice which has benefited my clients immensely. While my practice primarily focuses on Myofascial Release Therapy, I am also trained and routinely use more than a dozen different modalities depending upon the clients needs, including; Neuromuscular Therapy, Deep Tissue, Swedish Massage, Medical Massage, Visceral Manipulation, Hydrotherapy, Traditional Chinese Poi Cupping, Active Release Therapy, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilizations, Kinesio Taping, Tuning Fork Therapy, Posture Analysis and Correction Coaching, Foam Rolling and Self-care Strategies and even Pregnancy and Neo-Natal Massage (I've even been known to work on my clients pets from time to time). Also, because Massage Therapy of Eugene is located within Forever Fit Chiropractic (formerly Evans Chiropractic Group), I work closely in conjunction with Dr. Evans on many patients whom are looking to achieve pain free living, and have helped many to achieve their long-term wellness goals by stimulating the body's natural ability to heal.
While I see all types and ages of clients for a broad and diverse range of problems, I also can suit my practice to accommodate the needs of ANY client. From the chronic, long-term problematic patients to the pain free client looking to relax, all are welcome on my table. But the one thing you can expect is RESULTS.
