Specializing in Pain Management

As a licensed massage therapist specializing in therapeutic & orthopedic/medical massage techniques for chronic pain, post-op recovery, and injury, I saw first-hand the effect that intense pain can have on the mind and spirit of both humans and animals. As a result, I chose to expand my practice to incorporate my training as an ICRT Certified Holy Fire III/Usui Reiki Master & ICRT Certifed Animal Reiki Master as a means to encompass a more holistic healing approach and address the body, mind, and spirit of my clients as ONE.

Reiki Healing

Developed in Japan, Reiki is a Biofield healing technique focused around stress reduction and relaxation. Reiki's goal is to signal the parasympathetic nervous system (especially during times of intense emotion), and trigger the body's own innate ability to heal more effectively. Clients report feelings of pain reduction, heat, tingling, pressure, and euphoria- often without being touched. Animals respond particularly well to Reiki!

Animal Healing

Therapeutic Massage is a collection of techniques designed to relax the body and relieve "knots" or tension, and this term is mainly used to differentiate its practitioners between those who work towards a wellness goal and those who offer illicit and illegal services. Make no mistake, the practitioners and services offered at Work of Heart are geared entirely towards wellness goals.

Any solicitation for illegal activities before, during, or after a treatment session will be immediately reported to local authorities. More information can be found in our Policies and Procedures PDF.

Orthopedic massage takes Therapeutic massage to the next level and uses techniques from any and all modalities in combination with Orthopedic tests and techniques for the purpose of bringing balance back into the physical body. These sessions focus on relieving tension, softening scar tissue, releasing stuck fascia, and identifying areas of muscle weakness/imbalance in order to have LONG LASTING (often permanent) effects on areas of chronic pain, especially when combined with other wellness programs. Clients often report significant increases in mobility and significant decreases in pain/stiffness/tension in a single session! BOOK NOW

Massage clients are asked to dress down to their comfort level, bearing in mind that any articles of clothing or jewelry left on during a session will get massage oil/lotion on them. Clients usually wear underwear or shorts, and will remain fully draped under warm blankets except for the areas being worked on. PLEASE DO NOT BE NAKED ON MY TABLE.

For new client sessions, PLEASE WEAR GYM CLOTHES! It is very important that an accurate baseline is established during your new client session, and assessments are exponentially harder if you are wearing jeans or office clothes since we are going to be testing your range of motion, gait, and posture.
