I have been a licensed massage therapist for over 12 years, working with everyone from athletes and active clients to those dealing with the everyday aches, tension, and stress that come from work and life.

My approach to massage is intuitive and customized to the person on my table. No two bodies are the same, so no two sessions should be either. My goal is simple: help you move better, feel better, and leave carrying a little less tension than when you arrived.

One of my favorite modalities is Ashiatsu, a therapeutic massage technique in which I use my feet, rather than my hands, to deliver smooth, broad, deep pressure while using overhead bars for balance and control. It allows for deep, consistent pressure without the sharp or pinpoint feeling sometimes associated with traditional deep-tissue massage.

I also specialize in Head Spa treatments, combining scalp care, warm steam, massage, and relaxation techniques to create an experience that allows you to truly unplug and melt.

When I'm not at Melt, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, cooking, soaking up summer whenever Pennsylvania cooperates, or watching football. Go Steelers!
