Diana was fortunate in having the opportunity to study massage during her training in physical therapy, but as a physical therapist she rarely was able to incorporate massage into her daily schedule.

She graduated from McGill University in Montreal, Canada with a Bachelor's degree in physical therapy.  She has worked in Canada as a physical therapist for over 22 years.  She has taught anatomy at the university level and is currently teaching anatomy, physiology, pathology, and kinesiology at a massage school in Massachusetts.

Diana recently became a massage therapist, graduating from the Muscular Therapy Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts and is nationally certified as a massage therapist and is a licensed massage therapist in Andover.  She is also a member of the American Massage Therapist Association.

She has, in her several years of experience as a physical therapist and even more recently as a massage therapist, broadened her educational knowledge and expertise by taking many courses including neuromuscular therapy and CranioSacral therapy.

Diana has three grown children.  All have graduated with under graduated university degrees.  Her first daughter speaks six languages and teaches German and English in Japan.  Her second daughter is pursuing a law degree at Georgetown University, and her son recently graduated with a psychology degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

The expansive scope of her clinical experiences can most certainly aid in her contribution of knowledge and practice as a massage therapist.

Diana is committed to making a positive difference in people's lives, and has always and still intends to offer a very safe and extremely high quality of care in her practice.

Marie also holds a degree in Human Resources from Uppsala University, Sweden. She has held different positions in the corporate world (in Sweden) for eight years prior to having children and moving to the U.S.

Whether it is through relaxation massage, muscular therapy, sports massage, prenatal massage, or hot stone massage, Marie is committed to make a healthy difference in the lives of people she touches.
