- Deep Tissue MassageIn the highest expression of bodywork, both the practitioner and the client benefit. Being in service to another's rejuvenation brings me joy. It's like following a light in the dark. We're both working together toward your wellness and vitality. I offer "seriously deep tissue" by skillfully combining hand, forearm, elbow, knee, and shin contact. This technique maximizes the amount of effective release a client can receive in one session. It is clinically transformative and has been described as "literally a bodywork symphony." I offer integrative massage for those who desire a full body immersion. There comes soft "yin" contact from below and strong "yang" contact from above. This technique draws all parts of us into balance by creating a direct physical experience with yin and yang.
- Thai MassageI am dedicated to offering the support needed to help you heal through the use of different bodywork techniques. I specialize in bodywork targeting your connective tissue, brain and spine, and nervous system as well as your muscular and skeletal systems. The techniques I currently use include myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, transforming touch, therapeutic and Thai massage.
- Medical MassageMy favorite approach to massage is a combination of medical massage, trigger point therapy and passive joint mobilization tailored to the specific needs of each individual. But I also work with deep tissue and am certified in Loi Kroh traditional Thai massage which was my foundation and what started my journey as a massage therapist.

- Chiropractic AdjustmentsThe shoulder and hip joints are two of the most mobile and frequently used joints in the body. They are also a frequent site of injury and pain for many people we see in our Rancho Bernardo chiropractic clinic. From overuse to sports injuries, the causes are many, and the results range from slight discomfort to complete immobilization. The following article from Bernardo West Chiropractic gives information on some of the most common issues that lead to shoulder and leg pain, as well as a description of how chiropractic adjustments can help to reverse it.
- Spinal AdjustmentsIn addition to helping women strengthen and tone the muscles used in childbirth, chiropractic care can provide them with the spinal adjustments they need to relieve painful pressure and to keep critical neural pathways clear to optimize the function of the organs, including the uterus. Plus, resolving nerve impingements and spinal misalignments can also help ensure the uterus is optimally positioned to support the normal, healthy growth and development of the baby. Chiropractors are also skilled in the nutritional needs of pregnant women, as well as guidance that can help them avoid or reduce other side effects of pregnancy such as morning sickness.

- SubluxationThere are a number of different possible sources for the pain including bursitis, arthritis and tendinitis, but misalignments (subluxations) of the vertebrae in the neck and lower back are responsible for the vast majority of chronic arm and leg pain. If the spaces where the nerves leave the spine become narrowed because the vertebrae or discs are out of position, the nerve can become irritated, and often produces pain down its entire path. Many patients are surprised when they see that the nerves travel from the spine all the way to the ends of their fingertips and toes.

- Pediatric ChiropracticIt may be difficult to imagine that a child would need chiropractic care. They seldom complain of chronic pain the way adults do and their bodies appear to be made of rubber in the way they bounce back from injury. The truth is, children's bodies are under a lot of stress while they are in a state of development and keeping them healthy requires maintenance.
