Portsmouth, RI 02871
First taught by my grandmother to help with my father's headaches, I have been doing massage all my life. I pursued it as a career after receiving prenatal massage while pregnant with my daughter. I offer a treatment that is holistic in nature - personally addressing body, mind and spirit - focusing on what the client needs when (s)he comes in. I use an integrated approach to massage seamlessly blending many modalities that I have learned throughout my many years of practice. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to achieve health and overall balance in your life.
