A deeper Look

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), Bodyworker, & Medical Massage Therapist in professional practice since 2006.

My medical background includes certification in Lymphatic Drainage (2021), Advanced Lymphatic Drainage (2022) and Emergency Medical Technician certification (EMT). I have an additional three years of EMS fieldwork (2013-2016) partnered with professional paramedics on an ambulance with LifeCare. Working in trauma strengthened my belief in preventative wellness. In many cases, I saw illness, accidents, and emergencies that a healthy body could avoid. It is so much better to keep ourselves young and strong than to recover from something debilitating.

I specialize in deep tissue and therapeutic massage; with an aptitude for muscular alignment, pain management, and circulatory + lymphatic system health. Myofascial release, sports massage, and prenatal massage are also in my skill set.

I had the honor of delivering my two youngest children myself. Both events were home births with a midwife standing by. 

My personality is affirming and empathetic. I'm extroverted but only talk during sessions if you speak first. (It's okay if you prefer the quiet). I enjoy all types of humor, and one of my favorite things is how many people I get to meet doing this job. 

When I'm not doing massage, you might find me at a wedding capturing photo or video for Almost Fantasy, or brewing beer with a friend or my oldest son. I love homebrew recipes and also provide massage for employees of Bells Brewery at the Bell's Health and Wellness Center. I'm a percussionist, and part of a fun, once-in-a-while KISS tribute band. And I'm a husband and a father to a very busy and lively family.
