Since 1997, I have been studying healing and bodywork. Establishing my focus in college as Maximizing Human Potential, with a Major and Minor in Psychology and Holistic Health, respectively, led me to a great passion for the healing arts. Massage Therapy and bodywork made intuitive sense to me and I saw it as an extremely valuable conduit for wellness, a way for people to maintain an awareness of being present and to take care of themselves, so to approach their lives from a centered place. (I hoped this would also rub off on me!!) Since escaping stress is impossible, it is advantageous that we learn to manage it well. Mismanagement of stress is the root of much dis-ease, poor choice, pain and fatigue. I try to tap the well of prevention by aiming to help people manage stress and work towards keeping them out from under the constrictive nature of stress and physical pain. I have created an environment that allows the body and mind to rest, rejuvenate and heal in a sanctuary built for just that purpose: a place to breathe, space to heal.

Who Comes to See Me:
Integrating my years of massage experience with the techniques I have learned over time, ranging from energy work to advanced bodywork, I have the great honor of being able to help people feel better. People who have been experiencing chronic pain are referred to me and the level of relief they report has been profound enough that they have cancelled other therapies or realized that they did not need surgery. Other people see me regularly because it keeps them feeling free enough in their body that they can maintain their physically active lives with decreased pain. Some people come in only when their body has begun to complain, while others come in for regular “tune ups.” Whether the need is quiet nurturing and massage for your body and Self, or a more therapeutic bodywork session, I am happy to provide that. In whatever way I can be there for you in this capacity is an honor. There is a special trust that grows through this type of work. I promise to bring my highest ability to you. Also, I do not hesitate to refer you to other practitioners if your needs are other than what I provide.
