About Wake Medical Massage

NC Licensed & Certified Medical Massage Therapist specializing in post-operative recovery, lymphedema care, oncology massage, and chronic pain relief

Mission

At Wake Medical Massage, my mission is simple:
To create wholeness by promoting healing through touch therapy while providing compassionate, patient-centered care.

My Journey into Healing

For 28 years, I lived with severe back pain caused by a herniated disc (L5/S1). Doctors recommended surgery and medication, but nothing gave lasting relief—until I discovered the power of medical massage and manual therapy. This personal experience changed my life and inspired me to leave a career in IT to dedicate myself to helping others find healing through skilled touch.
