About me?

Experience
I am Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and bodywork. My background includes ten years in the United States Army Reserve as a dental assistant, honorably discharged with a rank of Sergeant.  I attended Sterling Health Center in Dallas for my advance certification in the clinical application of Neuromuscular Re-education.  Serving as a licensed manual therapist since 2004.

Hometown
Born and raised northwest side of Chicago, left in the early 90′s to the south and I ended up in Texas, I founded Therapeutic Massage of Texas served Plano Texas  from 2004 to 2011.  I returned to Chicago July 2011 and will provide the same dedicated service there.

How do I help my clients  
Well, with compassion and understanding I work on applying protocols to help you overcome the pattern of weakness, tension and compensation that often feels like you hit a stubborn wall that you can’t get past in your muscle rehab efforts.

This is a completely hands-on individualized alternative or addition to conventional Physical Therapy – I specialize in pain relief of Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow, Tendonitis, carpal tunnel, TMJ and most shoulder and Rotator Cuff Injuries. 

Who are my client
I work with Engineers, Teachers, Athletes etc. those who have neck, shoulder and back pain to frozen shoulder and TMJ syndrome. From sitting in front of the computers more than 8 hours a day to dealing with strain in your work out routine to chronic pain sufferers.

I enjoy making a one-on-one connection and forming a bond of trust with my clients. I am always learning and growing and consider it a life long journey to share. My passion is to help you improve your quality of life!
