Experience the Best in MLD and Oncology Massage on Martha's Vineyard

Welcome! I created this page to help you learn about my work in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) and Oncology Massage. If you're looking for expert Lymphatic Drainage, compassionate Oncology Massage, or recommendations for these specialized therapies on Martha's Vineyard, I’m glad you found me.

When properly administered during cancer treatment, recovery or end of life, massage and bodywork can have a profound impact on reducing stress. Massage calms and restores the nervous system, as proprioceptors in the deep soft tissues send signals to the central nervous system about muscle tension and blood pressure. The warmth generated by massage helps regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, promoting balance and healing.

Massage further enhances relaxation through its natural pain-reducing (analgesic) effects. It improves circulation by dilating blood vessels, aiding in waste removal, oxygenating tissues, and reducing discomfort. Additionally, massage stimulates the release of beta-endorphins and serotonin—neurotransmitters that help regulate the nervous system and create a deep sense of well-being.

I am primarily based just outside Boston on the South Shore but offer my services on Martha's Vineyard during the summer. If you’d like to book an appointment, feel free to call me at
