I am a licensed massage therapist specializing in swedish and deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and orthopedic techniques (which may involve active engagement, muscle energy techniques (MET), myofascial release, nerve mobilization, positional release, and PNF stretching)
While in medical massage training at Northern Virginia Community College, I was proud to receive recognition for Outstanding Achievement in Therapeutic Massage. Upon graduation I went on to complete certification in Spinal Reflex Therapy (SRT).
I have recently become a Certified Lymphedema Therapist to manage lymphedema and related chronic swelling disorders through Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). CDT utilizes compression bandaging, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Technique), decongestive exercises, and skin care.
