What does a PAIN SPECIALIST specialize in?
Sometimes I have to put people in pain to get them out of the pain they are in.
How does one go about this?
With slow stretching. We go beyond where you would stop ✋️ at. Because that is all you allow your body do.
Do you just work on healthy people?
No, we have worked with ALS, MS, PARKINSON, HUNTINGTON, AMPUTATION, CANCERS, BLINDNESS, CEREBRAL PALSY, and we are not afraid to work with other issues either.
Do I have to get undressed?
Oh please NO, I can & do work through clothes. Many have body issues & we all have a body just in different packaging.
Where are you available? By appointments only. During the week is best. Many times my weekends are booked months in advance.
What are your prices?

Can I just book there?
We prefer a phone call or text (not just messenger). We would actually like to hear from you, so we can discuss your personal issues. Every body is different.
Do you bring your table to do house calls?
Again this is decided when we discuss what you have going on. Many of my people/clients have ❤️ loved getting on the floor mat instead of the sky mat (table). One they don't have to worry about falling off thw sky mat (table). Two We usually have more room & are not confined to a 3'×6' space. Three no one has to feel like they are falling off the sky mat (table).
How long have you been a masseuse?
Even though masseuse is a beautiful French term, many have polluted that term. I am a Licensed Massage Therapists, Medical Massage Practitioner practitioner, but I prefer Pain Specialist. I have been practicing for over 30 years. The last 2 years I have been more of .
Why did you choose ?
To be honest, my body was wearing down & I was considering a new career. When I came across & was doing some of the stretching with Robert Gardner via online classes, I realized that I can work another 30 years with these techniques. Basically like modern thia with a twist.
Do you take referrals?
Yes as long as you trust them with your most precious person whether its animal or people. If your animals don't like them or trust them. Then please don't send them my way.
Have you ever fired anyone & why?
Yes I have & have no problem doing so. For being inappropriate. If you want nuro or happy endings please GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Well that the short of it. Thank you for taking the time to read.
Yes, I travel Texas & I'm mainly in the Ellis County area.

Everyone seems to be marketing massage therapy lately. So with all of the Licensed Massage Therapist out here: how can you choose the right one for you? Here are some things & questions you need to ask yourself and the future therapist who will be working on you.

1. Where and when did you go to school? (Texas Massage Institute, Dallas, TX 1995)
2. What modality do you prefer? Swedish-Deep Tissue
Neither I have advanced to a Specialization in Pain Management Massage. I personally prefer Pain Management style which is also known as Non-traditional Thia.
3. How long in practice? 30 Years yes I am proud of the fact that even after all this time I still absolutely love what I do.
4. Do you travel & how far? Yes I can travel all of Texas
5. Do I have to get undressed? NO with the modality (style) I do it is preferred that you stay clothed. You will be stretched during your massage with me. Most of us stop stretching as soon as we graduate high school. Therefore, let me assist you in stretching to your limit and gradually beyond.
6. How long is the typical session? State regulations claim that a traditional massage is 45--50 minutes to be called an hour or 60 minutes. 75-80 minutes is considered an hour and half or a 90 minute massage. With my work I actually do the full clock hour not the state hour.
7. Can I do longer? Yes, I can work on one person for 1 hr, 1,5 hr, 2 hr or even 3 hrs. With Specialization in pain management sometimes we are just getting started in 2 hour or less.
8. Do you have any membership packages like the chain establishments? Yes I do and unlike them, you can put them on pause if you need to. As long as you are honest with me I will understand and see what we can work out. Life happens.
9. When are you available? Monday through Thursday 8 am - 6 pm. Appointments only please, I do have a life in between wonderful clients. Some week appointment may be available upon special request.
10. What do you not work on? I WILL NOT work on the VPN (va**na, p***s, ni***es) that is what your spouse is for.
11. What forms on payment to you take and how can I reach you?
Cash is always King but we also accept local checks with proper ID, Zelle, Credit/Debit cards (square), Cash App, HSA/FSA/Care Credit.
