About

We all have multiple issues in our life experience massage and bodywork help. I see each person I work with as their holistic self: mind, body, and spirit. Each individual is more than their cancer diagnosis – they are a life filled with experiences and skills. I work with precise and thorough focus to help each person, in each specific session, find the healing and respite they are needing. As living and breathing creatures existing under the weight of gravity, we all need bodywork.

If your body is hurting or facing stress, I can help – even if it is taking a much-needed break from the pain for the hour of the session. Some know how important that is. My lifelong chronic pain experience (of various forms and types of pain) gives me an insider’s perspective that works towards finding a customized method of treatment for everyone. Married to that is my innate sense of touch mixed with empathy about pain people experience. God designed our bodies to heal and renew daily, and He created massage to be part of that healing program.

I am a member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) along with the Society for Oncology Massage and licensed by the State of Iowa. I am also certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage – Vodder Method through Klose Training, Medical Massage through Ralph Stephens, as well as TMJD and Whiplash Recovery through PNMT Midwest. Specialties include: Myofascial Release, Trigger Points & Neuromuscular Therapy, Massage Cupping, Gua Sha, & Scar Tissue Release.
