Amy specializes in therapeutic massage, pre- and post-natal massage, Swedish, and deep tissue. As an OB-GYN registered nurse, Amy’s expertise provides the highest quality of professional service.

“Working as a nurse, I really understand anatomy and what powerful effect massage can have on your body. When a number of women in our practice complained about swollen feet and legs, back problems, and other issues related to pregnancy, I realized that I could provide more support by offering a massage program tailored to the specific needs of pregnant women. As my practice has grown, I’ve spread into other aspects – I have one male patient with breathing problems, for example. When he comes for his appointments, he can barely move on his own. After the massage, which includes acupressure in areas that affect lungs, he’s energized and breathing easily.

I always talk to my clients about what they expect to happen in our session, and we talk throughout the first session so that we can both learn what is working and what isn’t. I take good notes, and always call my clients a few days later to make sure that they are still feeling the benefits of their session with me.

It’s important that clients practice a few good habits between sessions. Drinking lots of water is always important, and so is stretching. The more flexible your muscles are, the better they’ll work for you. And for my pre- and post-natal clients, I like putting Dad to work! Those clients get a printout of suggested massage techniques they can use to help reduce swelling, relieve sciatica, and carry the extra weight better. Massage needs more than an hour to be beneficial – it’s a team effort, with lots of aftercare!"
