About Me

Since licensed in FL(MA39150) in 2003, I have been practicing the art of massage therapy and have been teaching since 2008. Certified in several modalities, specializing in Shiatsu, Tuina and TCM. I have also focused on chair massage at the corporate level, servicing several corporate accounts throughout the tri-county areas. I am now a provider (50-19053) of continuing education with several courses being offered with CEbroker. As a member of the AMTA and NCBTMB, I have participated in countless events, tradeshows and conventions throughout my career and constantly keep up with innovations in the field.
