I have over 20 years experience with giving and/or receiving various massages and spa services. I have 10+ years as a certified licensed Massage Therapist and Physical Fitness Trainer. I have a degree in Massage Therapy and continue to add new services and techniques all the time.
Practice Philosophy:
