Personal Philosophy: Massage therapy treats problem specific areas as well as the whole metabolism, by normalizing the circulatory, lymphatic, muscular and nervous system. The effects of massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits. Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening and toning the entire body mechanism, and so help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses. Massage Therapy improves circulation to various tissue and organs. Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system depending upon what is required by the individual and help reduce fatigue leaving the receiver with a feeling of replenished energy.

Special Interests: Anna is married with three kids. She resides in Middlesex, N.J. and enjoys attending church, soccer and singing.
