I started practicing bodywork in the Pioneer Valley in 2002. I spent the first three years working at Ochoa Day Spa in South Hadley. Which was an invaluable experience. Not only did I learn how to keep my center and stay grounded for the numerous clients I would treat in a day, but I learned the ethics of business and having a practice.
In July of 2005 I went into private practice. Which has been an exciting success. I love what I do and what I can offer my clients. I am constantly challenged and inspired by the work, the human body and learning new techniques.
As well as working in my private office I spent two years (2005-2007) working with the knowlegeable practitioners and supportive staff at Northampton Wellness Associates. The doctors and other practitioners offer a holistic and gentle approach to health and medicine. For more information about the services they offer visit their website listed on the contact page.
I now have a beautiful office in downtown Northampton in which I share with
Dr. Kate Klemer DC and Dr. Anna Abele.
It is easy to get to and there is on-site parking.
