I Endure in order to Nurture
Transcending Being
I seal the Input of Birth
With the Cosmic tone of Presence
I am guided by the power of Life Force
I am much like other people. I too need balance, love, and acceptance in my life. Many of my life experiences have given me the opportunity to become clearer on what I choose to experience in my reality. As a young boy I was blessed with the opportunity to do healing work and observe the foundations of health. Years of inquiry, study, and practice have led me to do this work. It is my pleasure to hold a safe and nurturing space for others to experience spiritual, mental, and physical wellness. I use massage, nutritional counseling, and alternative healing modalities as tools to assist others in their health and life.
Peace and Love

Deep Tissue Massage:
Deep tissue techniques are generally designed for more focused/therapeutic massage work. The recipient is unclothed and covered/draped with sheets. Specific joints, muscles or muscle groups are worked on to access deeper layers of soft tissue. Starting superficially and easing into the depth of the muscle slowly often allows more movement. The pressure is applied deeply and slowly. Very little lubricant is used as the pressure doesn't travel much over the skin. The most commonly used 'tools' during deep tissue massage may include, 3 and 6 fingers, reinforced fingers, knuckles, a flat elbow, opposing thumbs, the heel of the hand or foot, and the forearm.
Thai Massage:
Basically is like acupressure and getting yoga done for you. This form of massage is also known as Thai yoga massage. The massage recipient wears comfortable/loose clothes and lies on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. Oil is not used in Thai Massage. The massage practitioner applies firm rhythmic pressure to the recipient's body using hands, legs, and feet in order to fixate the body or limbs of the recipient. In addition the practitioner may use hands fixate the body, while the feet do the massaging action. The massage also follows the Sen lines on the body, similar to meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian nadis. A full Thai massage session typically lasts two hours or more, and includes rhythmic pressing and stretching of the entire body; this may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, cracking the knuckles, walking on the recipient's back, and arching the recipient's into (cobra position).
Clients typically wear loose clothes while laying on a mat on the floor in a prone position (on belly). A broad range of pressure is used by my feet to sense and manipulate tissue, release fascia, as well as search for and focus on trigger points, regardless of client's size or build. This massage is also and excellent way to stimulate the liver and other organs to release toxins and wastes.
Swedish massage:
Is a more soothing, relaxing, and pain relieving massage. The recipient is unclothed and covered/draped with sheets. This style utilizes long, flowing strokes mostly in the direction of the heart using the whole palm or finger tips, using wringing, skin rolling, compression, and/or lifting. Petrissage is usually applied vertically to the muscle tissue. Oil, cream, or lotion is applied on the skin to reduce friction and allow smooth strokes. Long flowing and gliding strokes are also performed with open hands to produce a calming/relazing effect. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in recipient.
Sound Therapy:
In sound therapy a variety of frequencies and rhythms are used to tone chakras, clear energy, and induce states of trance in clients. The basic goal is to allow client to experience relaxation, stimulation, and introspection. Instruments that are used are shakers, African drum, didgeridoo, and Native American flute. Clapping and singing are also incorporated.
Crystal Massage:
Crystal massage tools are used to clear stagnant energy, target chakras, and follow energy lines. Crystals are also used also to apply a broad range of pressure to manipulate tissue, release fascia, and focus on trigger points.Breath work:
Breath work is used to establish good breathing habits and train the body to efficiently/effectively respire and maintain desired homeostasis/balance.
