Hi I'm Nora
My personal experience and love of massage is what lead me to this path. I know how healing massage can be because I've experienced it.
There is power in therapeutic touch. We were made for human connection and the simple act of laying on of hands can bring healing to the body, the emotions and the soul. Couple that with therapeutic techniques and true wholeness it entirely possible.
My hope is that every client will experience the healing and rest that comes from massage. Together we can relieve pain, improve movement, encourage rest and reduce stress. These things assist in improving overall wellness.
