Environmental Commitment

As a world citizen, I am extremely mindful of my footprint, and try hard to make everyday choices that will be as gentle on the earth as possible. I choose to use high quality, locally sourced products whenever possible, such as Mary Jane’s Medicinals topical cannabis products, 43 Solutions CBD products grown and crafted on the Western Slope of CO, Singing Springs Botanicals (or often self-crafted) Arnica oils for muscle soreness, from wild arnica flowers that grow naturally throughout our mountains, and Cimarron Creek Essentials organic massage lotions, made in Montrose, CO. Notably, Cimarron Creek Essentials even allows me to return and re-use my plastic containers once they have been disinfected, reducing plastic waste and carbon from manufacturing. I choose to launder my own sheets, using phosphate-free, hypoallergenic detergents without plastic packaging, eliminating the plastic wrapping that commercial laundry services provide.

Integrity

My goal is to deliver top quality bodywork, every time. I strive to give you the massage that you are craving, and that will benefit your body most effectively. I will communicate with you along the way to make sure we are on the same page. I am passionate about my work and appreciate my clients. I understand that booking a massage is a time and financial commitment that can be difficult to make, and never want to deliver a disappointing treatment!
