River is a results oriented bodyworker with nearly 20 years experience, licensed and practicing since 2004.

Whether your need is to address a specific injury or to reduce to the effects of stress through relaxation, River has a varied skill-set to address your needs and concerns.
Specialties include working with athletes, injuries, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel, low back pain, chronic conditions, postural imbalances and stress management. Each session is tailored to every individual's unique needs and concerns.

They have worked with chiropractors, doctors and nurses and also spent several years working in destination resorts and spas.
