Rebecca believes in the power of touch and massage as an integral part of holistic health, wellness, and stress management. People come to massage and skincare for different reasons and with different needs. It is Rebecca's goal to listen to each of her client's concerns and adapt her treatments accordingly. She believes that everyone and every body is unique. It is essential in bodywork and skincare to treat each client individually, with respect and with kindness, in order to provide the best possible protocol for each person. Rebecca's massages and facials are dynamic and therapeutic. She creates her treatments by combining a variety of techniques, along with an intuitive approach, and over sixteen years of experience.
