Welcome to Soaring Crane Massage & Acupuncture

As a health care professional for over 16 years, I believe in supporting my patients' well-being by offering non-invasive techniques that balance the body's energy. Achieving and maintaining good health require effort and patience, especially when treating chronic conditions.

Acupuncture and therapeutic Thai Yoga Massage are valuable adjuncts to proper nutrition, exercise, meditation, healthy relationships, and mindful work. In my opinion, all these elements are necessary for achieving and maintaining balance in our lives.

My specialties include blending the practice of gentle acupuncture and therapeutic Thai Yoga Massage to reduce pain and help my clients heal from injuries, whether they are related to an automobile accident, sports, or stress.

I am dedicated to providing every client with a comprehensive, holistic experience in which to explore his or her own powers of health and healing. The goal of each session is to help return you to a place of quiet meditation, where your body can remember how to care for itself, balance its energies, and enjoy the experience of being fully alive in the present moment.

I am also a nationally certified massage therapist, acupuncturist and certified viniyoga instructor. I graduated from the Brian Utting School of Massage in 1994 and received a Master of Acupuncture degree from the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2002. As a student, I interned at Harborview Medical Center's HIV/AIDS and Chronic Fatigue clinics.

Prior to studying healing arts, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and a Master's degree in Environmental Science. Through teaching and taking continuing education courses, I am able to stay current in my field, refine my skills, and expand my knowledge. I have taught continuing education workshops for over 14 years and am an approved provider with National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, Thai Healing Alliance International, and Yoga Alliance International.
