Healing Through Experience
A Journey of Resilience and Recovery
I am a retired Army officer with 24 years of military service, including more than 19 years spent living and working overseas in countries across the globe. That career exposed me to diverse cultures, environments, and stressors, and reinforced the importance of presence, adaptability, and steady leadership in complex situations.
Those experiences shape how I approach massage therapy today: with quiet confidence, respect for the individual, and a deep understanding that each person brings their own history into the room. Creating a space where clients feel safe, heard, and at ease is foundational to my work.
Alongside my military career, I have been an ultra runner for more than a decade. Like many endurance athletes, I have navigated chronic tightness, joint discomfort, and the cumulative effects of overuse. Experiencing these challenges firsthand strengthened my belief that effective therapeutic work should support recovery without forcing the body.
Massage therapy became a natural continuation of service, and a way to help others care for their bodies with intention and respect.

My Approach
I believe that therapeutic massage does not have to involve suffering to be effective.
Every session at At Ease Massage is client-led and guided by open, ongoing communication. We focus on the areas you identify as problematic, work within your comfort level, and adjust throughout the session based on your feedback. Your physical and emotional comfort is always the priority.
This is focused, therapeutic care designed to support mobility, recovery, and resilience, without ignoring the body’s signals.
Who I Work With
My practice is well-suited for active, health-conscious adults who value movement, consistency, and longevity. Many of my clients are runners, strength athletes, cyclists, or recreationally active individuals who are managing:
- Chronic muscle tension or stiffness
- Joint discomfort or lingering training-related pain
- Fatigue from sustained physical effort
- A desire to stay active without continually pushing through pain
If you appreciate a calm environment, thoughtful assessment, and professional therapeutic care, At Ease Massage may be a good fit for you.
