Nancy’s deepest desire is to live an authentic and fulfilled life and to support others in living theirs. Whether the client is a young mother to be, a proud new father, a busy stressed professional, or a practicing athlete she finds the connection with the client’s wish to grow and be fulfilled; and with loving care and presence brings the depth of her expertise and life experience to this practice.

Nancy has been working professionally with the human body for thirty years, starting with a 17-year career working as a Perfusionist with an open-heart surgical team in Florida. In 1996 she explored alternative methods of healing and worked with a tool called the Trinity Table, which assisted people in reaching a deep meditative state quickly, simply by using motion and sound.

She learned to work with energy and sound quite naturally, and assisted participants with emotional and physical releases. As she recognized the value of deep relaxation and its potential for healing Nancy began to pursue her most recent career path in Massage Therapy.

Nancy is a long-term practitioner of meditation and has been participating in ongoing work with her fellows, traveling to various areas of the country to do intensive inner work.

She is also an avid practitioner of Tae Kwon Do and has developed a specialized massage for fellow martial artists incorporating side-lying techniques from her Pregnancy Massage training.

“Getting a massage from Nancy is an extraordinary treat. Nancy is skilled and thorough, but her work is far greater than just her skill. Her intuition and sensitivity to one’s being and body are extraordinary, her love for her work and for people is evident in everything she does, and her own depth and compassion all make for an amazing massage experience. I always feel as though I can just disappear on Nancy’s table. But when the massage is over, I feel more “here” than ever-relaxed, settled, and whole.”
