Following a long career in medicine I found myself naturally drawn to massage therapy to satisfy my lifelong interest in health and wellness. As a result I founded Body Therapy Center in 2018.
Since that time I have continued my professional education with a focus on acute and chronic pain conditions. Through my training with ACE(TM) Cupping Therapy I now frequently work with patients following mastectomy, joint replacement and other surgical procedures. Cupping reduces pain and restores lost mobility both acutely and years later when scarring and adhesions hinder regular activities.
I also have advanced training in oncology massage. This allows me to work with patients to safely alleviate side effects both during and after their cancer treatments.
Whatever it is that leads you to seek out massage therapy, chronic stress is likely one big factor that drags you down over time. I find that massage therapy is a perfect antidote for stress, especially when it is utilized on a regular basis.
I hope to see you soon!

Typically you will begin to see and feel results within the first two or three sessions. After that we can discuss transitioning into a maintenance program that works for you.
