More than two decades experience, backed by 930 hours of training in massage techniques, kinesiology, and Laban Movement Analysis means massage therapy at Asheville Therapeutic Massage is supported by a greater depth of knowledge about massage, a broad range of therapeutic techniques including cranial sacral therapy, lymphatic draining, direct manipulation, and an understating of the body as a complex, interconnected mechanical, bio-energetic system.A long-time resident of Asheville, I am a member of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and the Executive Association of Greater Asheville. An avid lover of the outdoors and enjoys road and mountain biking, kayaking, and backpacking with my two sons.

My focus at this time was working with athletes, although many of my clients who came to me through referrals were not. It was for this reason that I changed my business and began focusing on a wider target audience.
