Orlando, Florida has been my beloved home for 22 years. I began as a martial arts instructor and actor, and today, I am a devoted professional massage therapist. My passion for the art of massage therapy knows no bounds.

What truly sets me apart is the fusion of my martial arts background with my massage and stretching style, influenced by the graceful art of Tai Chi. This unique combination offers remarkable benefits for the body.

Fun Fact:  Training keeps me in optimal health, and sharing my knowledge with others brings me great satisfaction. Cooking, on the other hand, is a personal delight. My culinary creations are as flavorful as my massage techniques, and I pour my heart into both.
