At 23, I had my first massage experience.  While working as a nail tech, managing a salon in Somerset, I was diagnosed with Lymes Disease and was unable to turn my neck.  A massage therapists card had been given to me a year earlier and I had held onto it.  I was unsure what to expect so I did not go until I was in so much pain that I had no other choice.  Within the first ten minutes, I knew massage was something that I would be using regularly.  I was with my first therapist for most of the first 5 years, then I went to massage school myself so that I could help others to feel better. 

At 29, I was hit by a vehicle while walking out of work.  It was a senseless accident that the driver could have avoided by paying attention, like all accidents. I have a strong appreciation for rebuilding your life afterwards and the healing process. 

I work on men, women and children of all ages. I have worked with Hospice, Womens Healing Groups, Childrens birthday parties-teaching "Safe Touch", "Coming of Age" Parties for tweens as well as Lead Massage Therapist at Massage Envy in Hillsborough. My goal is to restore health and full function to muscles that are restricted and awareness to areas of the body that are holding stress. 

I use paraben free lotion and creams.  Young Living Essential Oils are an important part of my work as well.  It's the only company with the Seed to Seal Promise. 

If I know of another therapist or complementory treatment that would work for you, I would be more than happy to write down the information for you at the end of the session.  I know an amazing group of body workers, therapists, chiropractors and flower essence clinitians as well as nutritionalists.  They are all centrally located in Bridgewater, Princeton, Somerville, Flemington and in Hillsborough.   All fantastic professionals to be able to refer to. 

Healing is always the goal.
