Hello there! This is Al and I use they/them pronouns. I am a graduate of The Academy of Massage Therapy and Bodyworks in Pottstown, PA and have five years worth of experience working as a licensed massage therapist.. My expertise is in helping clients manage discomfort from acute and chronic conditions as well as from anxiety and stress. I take a client centered approach in that every massage session is tailored to meet your needs. When you work with me, you will notice that I incorporate integrative bodywork drawing from various modalities, such as myofascial and deep-tissue. Before each session, I aim to establish a two-way line of communication where I encourage active participation in the sessions. Communication to me means establishing clear boundaries with my clients and allowing them the opportunity to make decisions and choices about the direction of their care plan. I have found that respecting a client’s autonomy is the best way to foster therapeutic relationships. This speaks to my deep commitment to providing quality care that is both safe and affirming to diverse populations within the community. Whether this is your first time getting a massage or you know exactly what modalities and techniques work for you, I will meet you where you are at in your healing journey.
