Services Offered:

I am currently available at three different locations. (Night hours are available at all locations) My private office is located in Pawtucket, RI (Address above) I am available in that office on alternate Tuesdays, every Thursday, Friday and occasional weekends. I am at Visions Medical Center in Wellesley , MA on Mondays and Wednesdays and In North Kingstown, RI on alternate Tuesdays. (Check out my blog which includes insights on health and healing according to Eastern Medicine and some of my poetry on the Visions Medical Website) Fee for appointment varies depending on location, time spent, and type of treatment. Please feel free to contact me for information.

Wellness Consultant: It is my goal to guide and empower you to take charge of your health and happiness. I am available for Life Coaching, Spiritual Journeying and Feng Shui consultations (Creating flow and health in your environment and in your life). I may advise you on life style and dietary changes. Suggestions for self-treatment and therapeutic exercises, yoga, meditation and breathing techniques for optimum health.
Corporate Wellness Consulting: Creating a healthy work environment. Feng Shui – the art of placement to enhance flow and productivity in the work environment. Corporate Yoga - Simple exercises that can be done at the workstation to reduce fatigue, back and eyestrain, carpal tunnel, increase energy and productivity. Corporate Chair Massage - Reduce stress, prevent repetitive motion injuries, back strain and increase productivity through offering 15 - 30 minute chair sessions.

Art Therapy: With a background in art I have an affinity for using it as a vehicle for healing and self-expression. I personally use the art of photography, (many self portraits) collage and poetry to express my emotions and spirituality. I very often collage or poem out confusion or stress. It is a vehicle for clarity, peace and focus and can be a potent part of the healing process. If this type of therapy resonates with yo,u I will coach you around using it. I also teach workshops on using art as a vehicle for healing and collaging is part of my spiritual journeying class.

Intake and Assessment: During the first session we will review your life and medical history. Discussing goals and intentions for treatment. As I am treating I will be observing and assessing the condition of the alignment of the body structure, range of motion in the joints, muscle tension, flexibility, cranial rhythm and the energy level of the 12 major meridians of the body. This process takes a minimum of 2 hours, sometimes up to 3 depending on the complexity of the history and what we need to discuss before beginning. Remember that this time is an investment in your health and well-being. The more information that I can gather on your physical, emotional and mental health the easier it is to form a treatment plan to address all the issues that lead towards balance and healing. I will also spend time after you leave to form a treatment plan for subsequent sessions.

Two Hour Sessions: My specialty. Therapeutic in nature. Allows time for deep healing and unwinding of issues down to the cellular level.

The Transformational Session: A therapeutic treatment done over comfortable clothing, allowing for freedom of movement. Balancing body, mind and spirit for total health and healing. Designed to prevent, relax, renew, empower and heal. The session begins with a pulse and palpation assessment to evaluate specific needs. Guided meditation is used to bring inner focus and breathe awareness. This relaxes, rejuvenates and activates the inner healing process. The treatment begins on the torso to stimulate blood flow to the organs and activate the core. I read the body and there is a fusion of multiple techniques to suit individual needs. Shiatsu, Integrated Massage, and Craniosacral Therapy are the core of my work . Other techniques are integrated as needed. The session ends with a Chakra Balancing and integration meditation. This may be followed with coaching and life style suggestions to improve health.

Shiatsu, Kripalu & Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage: A combination massage. This treatment is an energetic dance of touch, movement and relaxation. Similar in format to the transformational session, except with a focus of using oils on skin over a draped body. Gliding on the skin, instead of the usual palm and finger pressure techniques, accesses the Meridian lines. For those who wish to have the experience of a regular massage with the therapeutic values of eastern and other techniques. (The limitation of draping does not allow for certain techniques to be integrated.)

One Hour Sessions: Suggested for basic maintenance, specific issues or use of a specific technique after initial assessment, intake and treatment plan.

Relaxation Session: Basic balancing and stress reduction.

Spot Treatment: Specific focus on an acute problem, injury or specific area of the body.

The Ultimate Neck / Shoulder & Back: Focused on relaxing and releasing pain and tension in the upper body. Shiatsu, Massage, Acupressure, Trigger points and Fascia unwinding.

Reflexology: Foot & Hand Massage focusing on healing reflex points.

Natural Face-lift: Shiatsu, Massage, Ayurvedic Marma work and Cranial techniques used to restore vitality, tone and bring circulation & energy to the face, neck and head.

Ear Coning with Neck, Head and Face Massage: Check treatment page for description of ear coning.

Gift Certificates: Available upon request. Give a special gift! The gift of touch, health, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Please give 24 hours notice if you must cancel an appointment. My schedule is very busy and I very often have a waiting list. Notice allows me to serve more people. There will be a charge for missed appointments.

I believe that affordable health care is important for all. After the first initial intake and visit a sliding scale is possible for those in need of treatment without the financial means. This will be considered on an individual basis. (Available in the Pawtucket office only.)
