Compassionate Mobile Massage for Special Needs

I have worked with special needs clients, traveling to see these clients in their homes, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and memory care facilities when individuals are not able to get transportation to my office (with an additional charge for the travel time and mileage.) I have worked around feeding tubes, ventilators, tracheotomies, colostomies, and a variety of medical equipment. I perform massages with clients on massage tables, hospital beds, recliners, and wheelchairs. Clients can be fully clothed to receive a massage in hopes of decreasing the stress involved for clients who have a hard time dressing and undressing.

My intent is to help you become more aware of your body and gain better mobility.
