About My Services
Each session will be different for every person and each session, dependent on what the body is asking for at that time.
My work can help with conditions such as pain, trauma, stress, fatigue, migraines/headaches, difficulty with sleeping, depression, dental/TMJ issues, connective tissue disorders, central nervous system disorders, and orthopedic issues.
Below are examples of different services I may provide, depending upon your needs.

This manual therapy releases tensions and restrictions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve overall health. (Upledger)
