Most recently I completed an Associate of Applied Science in Massage Therapy from High Tech Institute (Cambridge College) where I was Massage Therapy Program Manager.
The formal world of education wasn’t for me so now I am back in the business world.
My approach to massage is twofold. First the body will hold your activities mental, spiritual and physical as aches and pains which a good deep massage can help. Second when you add intention to solve specific areas of your life, massage can put you on an express train to success.
As Sherry pursued a more tried and true medical approach, I was learning an esoteric yet medical approach to injury recovery called Neural Integrative Technique. This simple technique allows quicker recovery time and work on the ‘root’ of an injury.
I also recorded and finally released a guided visualization CD, available on CDBaby.com that lets you extend your massage experience through mental exercises.
So whether you need deep painful work to get a shoulder moving correctly or just want to relax, treat yourself to my work. Life will be better afterwards.

I love working with clients to unravel the postural patterns that are holding their pain in place. After twelve years, I am still amazed at how differently each client responds to massage, and it is still an adventure to work with each new person, to find what works best for them. I firmly believe that free movement is the key to most chronic pain conditions, and I use a lot of specific techniques, including Muscle Release Technique , therapeutic exercise, myofacial release/deep tissue, and manual therapies to restore your body to its fullest possible range of motion.

I was originally drawn to massage because of its ability to allow me to make a difference in people’s lives, not only on a physical level, but on a spiritual and emotional level as well. I enjoy the feeling of knowing that I’ve made a positive impact on someone else’s life.

I received my massage certification in California where I was trained in both Eastern and Western massage and bodywork techniques. I am a Colorado licensed massage therapist and a member of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
Depending on the needs of the client, my massage sessions typically incorporate several massage modalities including Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, reflexology, and Asian bodywork. My goal is to provide each of my clients with an individualized massage experience that is both relaxing and therapeutic.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing pickleball, bowling, reading, and practicing Chinese calligraphy.
