Therapeutic Modalities: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Orthopedic, Neuromuscular, Myofascial, Heated Stone. I enjoy working with people to achieve lasting relief from many kinds of pain and discomfort. Studying/practicing effective prevention and treatment modalities for repetitive motion injuries, chronic low-back, neck, and shoulder pain, and dysfunctional/painful joints has been my primary focus in massage therapy. People recovering from injuries and surgeries work with me to minimize adhesions and scar tissue. Increasing the flow of blood, lymph, and energy through the site eases discomfort and speeds their return to health. My internship with Cancer Care of Iowa City (Mercy) prior to graduation from Carlson College led me to research and practice therapeutic treatments for lymph edema, immune system enhancement, and comfort during chemotherapy. I still work often with people living through cancer.
