I
was a novice bicycle racer
when I began receiving
massage, with two goals in mind. Increasing energy during racing
season was one,
and getting relief from migraine headaches was
the other. Both goals were attained with regularly scheduled
massage.
That was about twenty years ago, and having recently attained the 2009
Minnesota State Championship in the demanding Keirin bicycle
discipline, I believe massage is still working wonders for me.
These days, I like to think that
the migraines were caused by being on the wrong career path (just look at
this site, haha!), but I realize that had I not been a computer
programmer I might never have had the migraines that led me to
experience the power of massage firsthand.
I have attended a couple of schools with well-known leaders, and
although I'd hate to choose between having dinner with Father Ted
Hesburgh or Sister Rosalind Gefre, I think Rosalind would be my
choice. She likes to run her fingers through my hair! (Now I'm
going straight to hell.) I received my
massage training at Sister
Rosalind
Gefre's
School of Massage in West St Paul, and began my own practice in
2003.
I have since received national certification, and continue to enhance
my services with continuing education. Not too long ago, I
attended a
week long course taught by James
Waslaski. James is known for his multidisciplinary approach
to pain free movement, and is considered a unifying force in the health
care industry.
I live across the St. Croix river from Osceola Wisconsin, and
enjoy being a part of the community. Doing chair massage at the
local baseball games is a true privilege for me. Massage is half price when the Braves are
winning! I like meeting new people
and
introducing them to the benefits of massage with a simple yet skillful
backrub. This is the best way to catch me in person, since I'm
usually in a session with another client, or out on my bicycle exploring the wonderful
scenery of the St Croix river valley.
An introvert by nature, I
think I was cut out specifically for massage, since I don't feel the
need to sustain idle chit chat during your massage session. I am
a good listener though, so if you'd like to vent a little during your
session, please feel free to do so! You can check out Facebook or
my blog for a
better
insight into my personality, or view my guestbook to
see what others have to say.
