Certified Thai Massage

Life Coach

When I founded AKV, it was my goal to empower people who had tried everything else but were still looking for relief.. Being able to do that every day is a blessing!  There is so much more we can do for ourselves than we are told.

My preferred way of working is to combine massage with stretching, yoga, energy work, guided breathing, and/or counseling or self-care tips because it takes a multi-pronged approach to balance all the aspects of physical, mental, and emotional wellness.

Reflexology

I offer an intuitive, firm touch, guided breathing, and stretching techniques to achieve energy balance and overall wellness. I believe the power to heal is within. I am a graduate of Healing Hands Institute (2003), a school focused on therapeutic and medical education. I’ve accrued over 600 hours of anatomy and physiology and certification in many modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, PNF stretching, and prenatal.

I also offer Trager/Flow work, which is a vibrational based bodywork which helps repattern nerves, reduce stiff muscles and open energetic pathways to restore movement and function in the body. This can be added to any session – just be sure to ask be about it!
