"We're all just walking each other home." ~ Ram Dass
My first experience receiving bodywork came in the form of Rolfing, as a means by which I was able to feel relief from chronic pain after years of sitting at a desk, with phone to ear and fingers on keyboard. My interest in bodywork was piqued, and led to my dedication to becoming a certified massage therapist so I could help others find relief, as I had, through bodywork. It is a decision I have never regretted. Pain is a teacher in so many aspects, often leading us to that next chapter in our journey.

I received my certification as a massage therapist in 1990 from the Colorado School of Healing Arts. As part of my deep commitment to providing effective massage/bodywork, I take courses on a continuing basis to expand my knowledge and skills.

Having had experience with pain and exploring avenues to find relief, it is no surprise many of my clients present themselves looking for the same. I specialize in the release of chronic pain using modalities such as integrative massage, FasciaBlasting, lymph drainage massage, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, visceral manipulation, and total body balance. I have recently begun FasciaBlasting for myself and am now utilizing for my clients, and have witnessed remarkable progressive changes in my clients. I absolutely love this amazing modality for releasing fascia restrictions and adhesions!
I also provide Watsu(r), a form of warm water bodywork. The outdoor saltwater pool is heated to 96 degrees for an deeply relaxing experience as you are floated in the water. No need to know how to swim because your head will be cradled in my elbow and floats applied to your legs to keep you buoyancy neutral. I guide your body through the water, achieving gentle stretching in zero gravity!
.
Touch is an amazing experience and in our often virtual worlds, many do not receive enough. I provide nurturing touch in a safe environment. I take my work seriously and strive to provide you with an experience that will benefit you in a whole person way.

I am an advanced practitioner and have my own practice, Aquatic Fire Healing Arts, located in Thornton, Colorado.

If you wanted to know more about me as a person, I would say, I love being in water, exploring, painting and enjoy making soup with whatever ingredients happen to be in my kitchen at the time! I enjoy a wonderfully supportive family who encourage me to share my skills and talent, and friends who further enrich my life. More than anything, I love Jesus Christ, sovereign ruler of our universe, and find deep satisfaction in serving Him through my work, and with respect to all other Paths.
