I'm a private practitioner specializing in Deep Tissue therapy for pain management, increased mobility and range of motion for patients with complex care needs. I love helping people not hurt as much, move better, and feel better in a single session, in as little as 30 minutes. However, I have the strength and stamina for 3+ hour sessions for those with more severe issues, and this is my specialty area in this field. My technique is coined as "sneaky deep", addressing the deepest and more difficult areas of the body to treat (such as iliopsoas and QLs), without irritating existing issues (such as sciatic nerve pain). I'm perfectly comfortable working with and around the "unsightly" chronic issues, such as psoriasis, eczema, colonoscopy bags and "ugly feet". My only ask with my patients/clients is to avoid using coconut products because of my own skin sensitivity. In fact, every product I use is organic, hypo-allergenic, scent-free--from oils to cleaners--for those with just these kinds of sensitivities.I've pursued specialty training for treating tension migraines and "tech-neck", post-injury and post-surgical, pre- and post-natal, and sports massage. I'm familiar with working scar tissue and working around prosthetics and implants. I've worked hard to amass an advanced knowledge of the anatomy of the body, how we as humans move in our day-to-day lives that cause us to have pain over time--how to treat it, and how to arm my patients with the stretches and strengthening exercises to manage their pain and maintain mobility/range of motion between sessions.My practice is not just about the physical science of helping the body heal, but also facilitating spiritual wellness. Saging, healing crystals, chakra rebalancing, grounding and cleansing are just as important in the healing journey for people of a spiritual mindset, and these are services I also offer for those who find it beneficial. (These are never presented to those who do not, nor are they the main focus of my clinic or practice.)I mainly operate from my in-home clinic near Poteet, Texas (a fully private room and bathroom used exclusively for my practice). This allows for the clean and professional space for my practice, without the stigma or anxiety of a medical office waiting room. I'm also available for single appointments within a 2-3 hour drive from my home base, and daily/weekly bookings for special events. I am comfortable working in an integrative medicine environment as a member of a care team, with physiotherapy, physical/occupational, and chiropractic therapies. As an active learner I adapt to the informational systems my care team uses with minimal training, and I'm open to part time or temporary work in private clinic, permanent care, and hospital settings.
