Who Am I?
I’ve made my living thru massage, Ortho-Bionomy®, Reflexology and teaching for many years.
In 1982 I was a white water raft guide and agricultural laborer with the University of Idaho in Moscow, ID. Between work, hikes, backpacks and rafting I apprenticed with a massage therapist, and fell in love with the work.
After careers in teaching, office support, management & administration, I “followed my bliss” and became a massage therapist.
My training includes numerous massage modalities. I focus primarily on injury recovery, posture correction, chronic pain management & relief, and integrative massage for maintenance and well being.
Your Choice for Massage Therapy in Denver
My passion is for you to embody. To be functional, mobile, at ease and flexible in whatever life throws your way.
To feel great in your body.
I offer professional, personalized service & multiple treatment options thru the healing power of touch.
I believe we store memories in our muscles, tendons, organs, bones….and cells. Sometimes physically located memories limit freedom and comfort.
Together we can re-create free-er movement patterns and new memories.
Renew Body, Mind & Spirit throughout your life journey.
Are we a good fit?
Consistency. When we’re a good fit, you ask for what you need, and you know what you’re getting. Having the same massage therapist does not mean you always get the same massage!
Real Time: One hour is 60 minutes. Most massage clinics have a 50 minute “hour”. You will:
o Get stark naked in record time;
o Leap off the table after your session;
o Have little or no time to ask questions or visit with your therapist about self care after your session;
With less than 10 minutes between sessions, your therapist must wash, change sheets, chart notes, escort you out, greet the next client, race to the bathroom, inhale a drink of water, and maybe lunch. Or not. There’s no time.
I cannot do this and maintain my well being, or model well being for you. I want to bring you the best I have to give.
Is the 50 minute franchise “hour” right for you?
Real money:
One hour is $80. Buy a six pack for $70/session.
Those 10 minutes you lose in a 50 minute “hour”? Add them up. Five full hour massages with me and you have 50 more minutes. That’s one “free” massage more than the franchises. Plus your multi session discount.
My lotions and products have no artificial ingredients, preservatives or parabens. Or bring your favorite lotion or oil. I use select linaments and essential oils at no additional charge.
Gratuities are appreciated, not required or assumed. I appreciate you on my table!
More reasons?
Less pain, better sleep, less stress, greater peace.

Gift certificates revert to the buyer if unused.
No memberships, automatic monthly deductions, unused or lost sessions.
When to call before scheduling. When NOT to get a massage:
If you have a chronic, serious or contagious medical condition I may require the authorization of an MD;
If there’s a recent injury or inflammation, consult with me before scheduling;
If you are, or could be pregnant, massage is safe and supportive. Massage can help you thru the first trimester. Unfortunately, over 90% of miscarriages occur during the 1st trimester, and over 75% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage in the 1st trimester – with no identifiable “cause”. These statistics mean a miscarriage could happen after a massage session WITH NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO EVENTS. If you are pregnant, or trying to conceive, we need to talk. I may require the authorization of your MD.
Alcohol & Drugs: Never come to a session if you’ve been drinking, or under the influence of “recreational” drugs, including marijuana, mushrooms, ayahuasca, etc.
Some prescription drugs dictate caution or contraindicate massage. If you’re unsure consult with me before making an appointment. Bring the names of your medications with you, and inform me of any changes in your medications or health conditions.
Therapeutic massage NEVER includes genitals, “releases”, the “full body”, oral sex or any kind of penetration. NEVER.
Imagine your MD, Chiropractor, Dentist or other health professional dressed in lingerie, jock strap, g -string or half naked. Professional massage therapists don’t dress like this.
Would YOU want to work wearing practically nothing in your professional setting? I didn’t think so.
If this is what you seek, I am NOT the massage droid you’re looking for. Any advances, unwanted touching or suggestive, implied language will result in immediate cancellation of your session with payment in full and a police report.
