About

I've been self-employed since 1997 in downtown Bellevue. My degree in sports massage allowed me to work with professional athletes from the Seahawks & the Seattle Sounders soccer team. I specialize in muscle strains & sprains, headaches and whiplash from car accidents. I still have a passion for what I do and I'm fortunate to have helped hundreds of people over the years with their tight and sore muscles. My life outside of work is equally (if not more) fulfilling. I have a healthy social life and enjoy quality time with my family & friends. I host many parties & barbecue's on my patio, as well as croquet & bocce (italian lawn bowling) events at various parks around Seattle. I also organize "Guys Night Out", which is a relaxing time to catch up with old & new friends over a great meal and a few bourbons. I have a passion for traveling and I do it regularly, whether it's a weekend getaway or an overseas adventure. I've been to Italy, Greece, the former Yugoslavia, Ireland, Scotland,I began my career after a mild back injury in 1997. I went to see a massage therapist and after my first session I realized how powerful human touch is. I got off the table and felt more relaxed, centered and pain-free than any time in my life. It was profound. I couldn't drive for about 15 minutes. While walking around town in a daze, I simply thought "I can do this". Soon after, I was accepted into the Seattle Massage School in 1997. I specialized in injury treatment and sports massage. I quickly networked with a few doctors in Bellevue and within a few months I set up my business across from Overlake Hospital. Fifteen years later I still have a private practice on Main Street near Old Bellevue. My office is inside an old but charming brick building that used to be a church in the 1950's and eventually the town library.
