I have been practicing massage since 2005. I am Nationally Board Certified by the NCBTMB, and registered to perform massage in the state of Colorado. I have been a certified NeuroMuscular Therapist for 10 years. I have a very in depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology. In the course of my baccalaureate degree, I took such classes as: Human Anatomy and Physiology, as well as, Advanced Human Physiology, Advanced Cadaver Anatomy, and Neurobiology. This allowed me an intimate and well rounded understanding of blood supply, muscular function, and neuromuscular functioning. I thoroughly enjoy putting this education into practice to reduce pain, discomfort, postural dysfunctions, and myofascial tightness. 

During much of my early career, I contracted with Physical Therapy and Neurology practices, and Acute Accident Clinics treating such neurological diagnoses as Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Scoliosis, Post-Polio Syndrome, Reynauds, Paraplegics and Quadraplegics. I treated a wide range of orthopedic issues as limb amputation, spinal stenosis, pelvic floor dysfunction, herniated ruptured, torn disc, slipped, collapsed, and protruding, as well as, degenerative disc disease. I treated, both pre-surgically and post-surgically, hip replacements, knee replacements, disc reconstruction, fusion, and laminectomy, of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spines.
