About
I am a California certified massage therapist and certified with NSTPA (national spray tanning professional association). After working on massage clients with histories of skin cancer, but still wanting to feel confident whilst avoiding the dangers of UV rays and premature aging sunless spray tanning was a perfect addition to offer my clients.

MASSAGE
I believe massage therapy is a necessity and the benefits are tremendous whether it's a well deserved hour of relaxation, helping pain management or increasing circulation. I also include the healing qualities of pure essential oils and organic hemp derived CBD to further enhance and aid in client wellness. I practice Swedish, deep tissue, pregnancy, senior and hot stone bodywork.
SUNLESS SPRAY TAN
Sunless tanning is a specially formulated solution that is misted over the body. Over the next few hours the ingredients work with your skins amino acids to produce a beautiful tan that will last a week with proper care. Whether you desire a light or darker tan, I will work with your skin type to achieve the best results. I use the brand Sjolie, a california based company whose products are made with organic, naturally derived ingredients that are paraben free and PETA approved so never tested on animals.
SPECIALTY MASSAGE
Senior Massage
My experience with the benefits of massage for seniors has been amazing. As we age our muscles get tighter which is usually due to being less active so massage is excellent to help soften muscles and increase blood flow to the whole body. Many seniors lose connection with human touch so it is extremely beneficial to produce feelings of caring, comfort and relaxation. Massage increases range of motion and mobility and relieves pain from ailments like arthritis and rheumatism. Treatments can take place in a recliner chair, massage table or hospital bed. Home visits are perfect for seniors so they can totally relax after the massage.

How to achieve the best results for your sunless tan
18-24 Hours prior to session
Exfoliate to prep skin for perfect spray application

If need to shower do so with warm water (not Hot) at least an hour before
After session care
Avoid any activity that would cause sweating or contact with water until your shower time can cause uneven tanning
