A  little about  me - 
 In  the  6  years  I've  been  practicing  massage  at  Sanctuary in Avalon,  I've  enjoyed  seeing  clients  benefit from  the  many  great  aspects  of  masssage  therapy.   Combining varied  techniques  including  remedial,  sports,  deep  tissue,  relaxation,  Ayurvedic,  hot  stone  and   pregnancy  massage  aswell  as  reiki  and  energetic healing, treatments  are  tailored  to  your  needs.    The  massage  table  is  super  soft  and  perfect  for  long  treatments  and for  those  who  get  uncomfortable  lying  on  a  massage  table -  many  clients  say  it's  the  most  comfortable  they've  experienced and  that  it  makes  the  whole  massage  experience  more  enjoyable.   Fresh,  clean  towels,  quality  massage  oils and  essential  oils  chosen  to  nourish  and  support  the  body  as  well  as  relaxing  music  all  help  to  make your  massage  bliss..
