Welcome to my website! Come in, relax, make yourself at home and have a look around.

Since life and the body, which is always adapting, are never static, I always base my work on the current needs and requests of my individual clients. I find it important to listen with my ears, as well as my hands, in order to address each client's specific needs, which can change from one appointment to the next.

Because I bring more than 18 years of experience in massage and bodywork to the table, each massage session is integrated from a variety of modalities (like 'Felix, the Cat', I reach into my bag of "tricks') to help each client achieve stress reduction, relaxation, improved blood and lymph circulation, pain relief, etc. My massage techniques are strong and firm, yet gentle and fluid. I do not believe in the adage "no pain, no gain." A deep tissue massage can (and should) be provided without hurting a client. Actually, I have found the more subtle systems of working with the body (i.e., CranioSacral Therapy and Lymph Drainage Therapy) to be profoundly effective in the healing process by facilitating and encouraging the body's own natural healing.

My practice is situated in my home on the top floor of an old Victorian house in cultural Montclair, NJ. It is most charming and cozy, and my clients are commonly greeted by my one cat, Pascal. For some reason, I rarely attract a client who is allergic to cats, but even if this were the case, a highly technological air purification system in my home greatly reduces a person' s sensitivity to dander and/or other allergens.

If I find my skills, techniques and knowledge limited or lacking in helping a client reach his/her goal, I will not hesitate to refer that client to other qualified professionals! The health and satisfaction of my clients is my greatest interest and concern.

So, when you're ready for your massage, please contact me.
