Professional Training and Continuing Education: As a physical therapist ( BSPT 1991) I have worked in many different settings from NeuroRehabilitation, to out-patient orthopedics. I have always been interested in bodywork and movement work. My training in Aston-Patterning with Judith Aston personally for over 3000 hours has given me a wealth of knowledge in these areas. The basic bodywork and movement work certification is 2000 hours over 1.5 years. I then enrolled in the advanced training (another 1000 hours). She has taught me to see and feel accurately so that I can assist in releasing an individual’s holding pattern and teach them how to use the changes that were acquired. This allows an individual to be in their best body.
My most recent training has been with Harvey Ruderian who is a Rolfer also trained in Aston-patterning. It was a very advanced class focused on the abdominal viscera and its relation to the rest of the body. I had some amazing insight into how the viscera can affect structure and function of the body.
I have experience with massage therapy for a variety of injuries and common orthopedic problems however I specialize in searching out solutions (with my clients) to myofascial strain patterns which have not responded to other methods. I assist people in optimizing their movement in their sport which helps prevent injuries and overuse problems.
I offer the unique experience of a four hand Aston Massage session, having 2 skilled practitioners work on our client at the same time. This work yields incredible change in a very accurate way.
I am a lifelong learner, who loves to work with a variety of clients who wish to explore their healing abilities and their vast possibility to create the life they want.

500 Hours Comprehensive Training
-Hermann Memorial Wellness in Houston, TX.
Received my 6 hour Trigger Point Therapy Certification
-Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals
Online Credit for Myofascial Release
My massage career started when I found the ability to train under professionals in my local area. I received my beginning hands on training thru Instructors that work with A&M University Athletes using much Sports Massage, Myofascial Release in the training along with a Trigger Point Therapist Instructor with much knowledge about Clinical work.
I feel it is important to know what your clients needs are and take them to heart when putting them on your table. My work has allowed many clients the freedom to move with much improved Range of Motion after treatments. I highly recommend trying massage if you have not experienced an opportunity is always available to you.
