Welcome to my blog! 

You pull into the shady parking lot where you are greeted by gardens and flowering trees around the cozy cottage that houses The Healing Center. In the warmly lit lobby, you may encounter either my smiling face or that of one of my fellow practitioners.

Smiling face greeting you

I'll lead you bac...

I am good.  No, I am an excellent massage therapist.  It gives me great pleasure to know that I excel at my career path.  I am smart.  If I wanted to be in school for years on end, I may have been a doctor or dentist, but I prefer leisure, movement, and seeing the outdoors.  I studied anthropology...

As solutions are being found, vaccines are being administered, cities and states are opening back up for business, it's time to get back to massage therapy!

You can see me again at The Healing Center at 847 E. Park Ave. , Tallahassee, FL 32301.

Our current protocols still include masks for...

As a massage therapist for over 20 years, I have worked on many feet. And I know that some of my clients suffer from toenail fungus, a stubborn condition that causes tough, yellow nails. Over the years, I have seen friends, family, and clients struggle with this issue, because it is rather persisten...

If you are feeling overwhelmed, ungrounded, nervous, afraid, or if you're having physical symptoms in the lower spine, hips, and/or lower extremities, I'd like to make a suggestion. In addition to the things you might usually do to soothe these symptoms, try Sound Healing.

I love to put on thi...

Come on down to New Leaf Market Co-op in Tallahassee, Florida where, from July 2nd to July 31st, my art will be featured in the dining area.  I've got  a series of nature inspired acrylic paintings that I've been creating.

I’m excited to tell you that I am learning Mayan Abdominal Massage, an ancient traditional technique that releases congestion of circulation in the abdomen, lower back, diaphragm, hip, and sacral areas.  It’s fairly simple, yet really powerful.  Remember, we are about 75% water, so circulation is ...

Working with plants and landscapes, a person may do some pruning. When pruning, I notice, it is necessary for me to have some faith that the plants will grow back and fill in. They look so bare, and not so alive when I first cut them back, especially if I cut them back by much. It often reminds me t...

Apparently, the Japanese did. Barefoot Shiatsu is a form of massage that works with the flow of energy through your body along lines called meridians (the same ones as in Chinese acupuncture). The energy flows through your body, supporting the various systems. If the energy gets blocked (think of it...

When I was in college, I loved pizza. I worked at a delivery restaurant and ate pizza every time I worked, maybe 5 times per week. I drank multiple cans of highly sugary and caffienated soda during every shift. Sometimes I ate a whole pint of ice cream for dinner, maybe once per week. I loved sweets...

Back in the 1990’s, I was finished with college, had a BA from UCF in Anthropology, and worked at a restaurant. One of my coworkers told me how proud he was of his girlfriend, who was graduating from massage therapy school. I asked if it was like physical therapy, and he explained that it was k...

Do you remember the song that starts with, “Sing, sing a song”? One of the lyrics is “Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song…”  This song comes to mind today after a good friend and I were talking, and catching up on our lives. I shared about recently a...
