Having a background in Physical therapy (Physical Therapist Assistant, associates degree), I feel confident in my understanding of the human body, especially when it comes to recovery from injury, surgery, trauma, etc.  I have a passion for making my clients feel better in general, especially when it comes to dealing with pain, and muscle tension.  I love to research techniques and stay up on current advancements.  

I specialize in: Body contouring, Cupping/

myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, gua-sha, or use of specific tools (IASTM great for tendonitis & scar tissue mobilization) reflexology, trigger point therapy for TMJ symptoms, neck, back, shoulder pain and passive stretching for limited range of motion (including specific techniques for rotator cuff repair and frozen shoulder, such as joint mobilization) Relief for migraines and tension headaches. Techniques for symptoms of sciatica, carpal tunnel & thoracic outlet syndromes (symptoms in extremities such as numbness, tingling, shooting pain in hands, legs and feet). Treatment of degenerative or herniated disc.

I also incorporate manual traction of vertebrae.

I customize sessions to each individual's needs, therefore I can focus on one or more areas of concern, varying session times as needed (30-90 minutes).  A wide variety of the above mentioned techniques can be combined in one session. 

*I take new body contouring, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral & infrared sauna clients, and refer out deep tissue clients; Jennifer @ my office is great, or in Kalispell Johnny offers excellent ashiatsu and deep tissue:
