About

In 2010 I started to learn about the human body through Massage. I discovered a love for sports massage and injury prevention. The human body can be like a big puzzle, and I love the challenge of figuring out what the cause of various dysfunctions may be. In efforts of learning just that I have become certified in Active Release Techniques (ART), Fascial Distortion Model (FDM), Contemporary Cupping Methods, Functional Movement Screening (FMS), Kinesiology Taping (RockDoc) in addition to Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue and Table Shiatsu. My specialty is in Functional Mobility. My goal is to help get people back to their favorite play grounds without pain or dysfunction. In a session I generally ask a series of questions to better understand how your body responds to what I am feeling. I will often request that we work together to loosen a muscle, whether it involves simply breathing, moving a limb, or contracting a specific muscle.I opened Arbor Vitae Massage and Bodywork in San Jose, January of 2013. There I obtained my certificates in ART, FDM, RockTape, FMS and cupping. As my business grew, I moved to Sunnyvale where I currently practice,
