Active Alignment Massage Therapy

I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska and I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest my whole life. In 2008, I attended the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver, British Columbia. I graduated in 2011 with my 3000 hour certification and became a Registered Massage Therapist in Canada. In 2012, I moved back to Alaska. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Alaska and nationally certified through the AMTA. Since graduation, I’ve continued my education, studying the interaction of pain and biomechanics with Greg Lehman, Ligamentous Articular Strain Techniques, Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapy, and becoming a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner. My treatments focus is on blending research based manual therapy, proprioceptive and anatomical education and remedial exercise to address a wide range of patient needs. Treatments in my office incorporate a variety of massage styles, including Myofascial Release, Sports Massage, Surgery Prehab/rehab, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Swedish, DermoNeuro Modulation, Pre-natal and pregnancy rehab, Cranio-Sacral, and massage for neurological conditions. My goal as a massage therapist is not only to reduce pain and increase positive outcomes, but to give patients the tools they need to take control of their own health and well-being.
