"I myself suffered for years from debilitating headache, neck and shoulder pain due to injury, and had it completely released in one session by a skilled practitioner. A desire to understand and share such miraculous recovery inspired my career as an LMT. Now, with more than ten thousand hours clinical experience in the offices of chiropractors, naturopathic physicians and acupuncturists, I've developed the advanced, orthopedic skill sets which allow me to provide that same relief for others.
As an Orthopedic Massage Specialist I have extensive experience working with all areas of the body, but find particular joy helping clients who suffer from Migraine, TMJD and Chronic Headache get their lives back. Rather than treating symptoms, this gentle yet effective work addresses the root causes of musculo-skeletal pain with advanced, less practiced techniques for the head, neck and shoulders, including intra-oral massage when necessary for the treatment of TMJ disorder.
It's my goal to provide clients pain relief in their very first visit, and in as few as three treatments lasting reduction in the frequency and severity of their headache/TMJ pain. I've also made it my mission to bring this work to all who could benefit, offering individualized billing terms to make care affordable. Don't miss this opportunity to experience relief from your pain today!"
I welcome clients with Low Back Pain, Shoulder, Elbow or Hand injuries, Ankles, Knees, Toes and Feet, but Headache and TMJ Pain Relief are why I'm known best. Find out why, book today!
I have relocated my practice to my home office in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood of North Portland. Address available upon booking, or by text or phone when necessary.
While our personal histories which lead to Headache and TMJ pain are varied, the commonalities we find in the vast majority of cases are chronically inflamed Trigger Points (or "knots") in the muscles of the head, neck and shoulders, which refer pain into the forehead, temples, jaw and behind the eyes, and restrict range of motion throughout the region.
By expertly releasing these "knots" and increasing blood supply to the muscle tissue we can often reduce spasm and pain, providing relaxation and a more dynamic range of motion. Clients often experience significant relief in their very first session, remarking that it feels like we're getting at "the spot" responsible for their pain. Having experienced this work many clients find themselves capable of self care treatment strategies for these points.
