My Day Job: CMT Bio

​

I am a CA State Certified Massage Therapist who has been successfully practicing massage therapy and bodywork within Sacramento and surrounding areas since 2005, during which time I have enjoyed providing much needed stress relief and a personalized massage therapy experience to Sacramento area residents and business professionals.

​

I have also received specialized training in Thai massage from Eddie Chong, one of the last "closed door" students of Pan Nam, one of only a few great teachers to retain the lost treasure of Shaolin training.

 

I combine the love of the healing arts with a background of various martial arts disciplines which help bring the energy of mind and body into focus for direct and soothing pressure. I currently hold a black belt in Bok Fu (White Tiger style) and am continuing my study of the ancient Chinese art of Chi Kung.

​

Some of my more unique experiences have been working on the WWF team as well as Ringling Bros Circus performers. (Almost ran away with the circus)!
