About Me

I have been licensed and nationally certified as a massage therapist since 2004, having completed my initial training in Swedish Massage Therapy under the tutelage of Tom Karas and Dr. Steve Markus at the Massachusetts Institute of Therapeutic Massage.  Upon completion of this initial training, I opened my practice at Advantage Chiropractic, where I share space with John Donovan, Doctor of Chiropractic.

I am fully insured, and a Professional Member of the American Massage Therapy Association.  I am also a member of and massage therapist for many members of the highly competitive Greater Lowell Road Runners Club.  I have competed in numerous running events, locally, nationally, and internationally, and have completed over 60 full marathons (including the Boston Marathon 20 times), many of them at under a three-hour pace while I was in my 40's and early 50's.

In addition to my massage practice, I have been the Youth Services  Director for YWCA Lowell since 1985, where I provide direct support to high-risk children and teens, and do grant writing and community building to support these efforts.
