My New Position With The Vitality Team !!!

Hello Everybody!  I’m the newest member of the Vitality team at the Ravenna location as the onsite Massage and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and I’m very pleased to be included in such a stellar group of people to help you!  I will be doing my best to contribute to your health and well-being, your comfort, and helping you to achieve your goals here and in life.

  Nutritional Therapy can affect all aspects of life from finally getting really good sleep to brain health and being happy and more calm to increasing flexibility as well as losing weight, detoxing and helping your body heal so joint and body pains go away.  I’m very heavy into the MTHFR gene research since I have it myself …and 30% of the population…some studies say 40% for women! This is cutting edge but my main focus remains on you…your struggles, worries, goals…How can I help you? What can we overcome, unblock, release and/or improve together?

As far as Massage goes, we all know it’s great for relaxation, sense of well-being, etc. – and for that I do a great Swedish Massage, Hot Stone Massage and variations – with aromatherapy included!  I’m a Brian Utting School of Massage grad, working in massage for 15 years now. Experience fine-tunes if you listen. I specialize in Injury Treatment Massage, Sports Massage, NMT (NeuroMuscular Technique), Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, trigger points-- those techniques that can correct posture, bring healing and range of motion to injured/frozen/stiff/stuck muscles and joints and release knots and scar tissue. The kind that can improve your golf game, basketball/baseball/tennis or any other sport, finally release that chronic neck or shoulder pain or stiffness, roll those shoulders back so you can stand straight and be in balance and at ease, address those leg and hip issues so you can walk with ease…Very effective  with Pilates!

My massage is usually slow and easy, listening to the muscles themselves and following where they open- up. I listen to the body and to the client and use all the tools I've learned over the last 15yrs to get the results desired.

I LISTEN: to the body, to the client, to the muscles... and wait for them to allow me in - to the deeper muscles. Thus I can effect profound changes without the pain that might be associated with other Deep Tissue Massages.  Sciatica, carpal tunnel, rotator cuff, back pain, neck pain...very specific work with real results.  And I'm intuitive. 

We can come up with a program or one-visit plan specifically tailored to your needs and wants.
