When a client steps into the Spa, they have an instant feeling of peace and know that they can escape, if only for a little while. By getting clients to relax, it allows my work to achieve the best possible results. In addition to customized facials and diverse massage modalities, I provide a wide variety of detoxifying treatments, such as body wraps, steam, sauna treatments, and ionic foot treatments. For clients who are interested in improving their overall physical health, I have a wellness questionnaire that targets areas of the body that may need assistance before they become a major problem.

My services are primarily mobile as I believe that the best way to help a client achieve as high a level of relaxation, is for them to receive my services in their own environment. I have just moved to the Houston area and have an office located at Hand and Stone in the Oak Forest area. My ideal client is male or female from the age of 17 to the elder years. They are active in maintaining what is for them, optimal health. My goals in working with each of my clients to share with them practical ways of reducing the effects of the stress, injuries, and other minor trauma effects that can lead to chronic soft tissue maladies.
