Your body is unique and deserves an informed and customized approach. With over 8 years of experience in private practice and over 3,000 hours of continuing education, I will draw on my knowledge and experience to provide a therapeutic session that meets your specific needs.   My interest in the transformative power of touch began during my three years of residence at the Esalen Institute, a historic healing retreat center. I immersed myself in the study of a wide variety of somatic healing modalities including, Esalen Massage and Deep Bodywork, Feldenkrais, Craniosacral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, yoga therapy, and 5 Rhythms Dance.   My work is also informed by my graduate studies in medical massage. I am currently working as Lead Massage Therapist at UCSF's distinguished Osher Center for Integrative Health. I draw on my advanced training in oncology, neurology, pediatric, and palliative massage therapy to serve medically complex patients in the in-patient setting.   In addition, I am pursuing continuing education in Manual Osteopathy, Structural Integration, Craniosacral Therapy, and Visceral Manipulation. Immersive study in these approaches inform my body assessment and palpation skills, along with my ability to offer subtle body approaches that regulate the nervous system.
