I began MassageWorks in 1994 after an injury and after seeing & experiencing Steve Citty doing chair massage at a health fair in the Candy Factory in Knoxville. I soon began massage training which included the same chair massage training as taught by David Palmer. In 2002, I began studying kinesiology with Arlene Green at the US Kinesiology Institute in Chapel Hill, NC, and , in 2003, became a Touch for Health? Kinesiology Certified Instructor. Continued studies included the Professional Kinesiology Program which led to my becoming a Certified K-Power? Instructor in 2008. In 2006, I did a 200-hour intensive at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, CA. My bodywork is a muscle/meridian balancing approach incorporating kinesiology with Asian & Western bodywork.

I first got into massage therapy after reading an article on the benefits of manipulating the muscles and tissues of the body and how you can help relieve muscle aches and pains, stress and aid in relaxation of a client. I have received massages for 33 years now after reading that article, I found that massage has helped me throughout the years. For 15 years I have been helping my clients feel better and I would like to help you to. I am available for home visits and outcalls, You can come to my office for your massage now.
