Welcome!

  I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CMLDT) practicing in NYC and New Jersey. My mission has  always been to ease pain and discomfort. I am currently employed by Atlantic Home Care and Hospice providing palliative massage therapy. I'm also employed by Morristown Medical Center, Integrative Medical Department. I provide massage in Goryeb Children's Hospital  pediatric oncology unit. 

​

   I first discovered the healing power of massage during my time as a hyper-competitive yet chronically injured distance runner. My attempts to seek help from various medical modalities for a hip problem were unsuccessful. A friend referred me to a medical massage  therapist. After days of multiple deep tissue massage treatments I returned to running, injury and pain free. Within weeks of my return to running, I was enrolled at The Swedish Institute of Massage Therapy, leaving my job as an executive with Loews Theaters. I have a passion and devotion to massage therapy working full time and raising my family as a self employed therapist for 30 years.
