About Us

IF YOU ARE A FIRST-TIME CLIENT, PLEASE READ BEFORE SCHEDULING!

ABOUT MY WORK
I specialize in generalized deep tissue massage, with elements of myofascial release and neuromuscular therapy. My style tends toward the slower and more meditative, listening to the body and giving you space to release tension in your own time. I work firmly, with a mix of specificity and breadth, holding trigger points to release those tight spots and relieve referred pain, applying cross-fiber fiction to break up adhesion and improve muscle function, using PNF stretches/METs to improve joint range of motion, and using long, integrating strokes to lengthen and flush the tissue and soothe the nervous system.

Although many people find my firm, patient, listening style to be relaxing, I am much more skilled in deep tissue work than in specifically relaxation/spa/Swedish massage; if you prefer lighter or relaxation-only massage, there are many other therapists out there who love and specialize in that work. However, if you want a good, muscular massage, if you like having the knots worked out, and/or if you need specific treatment-oriented sessions, I would be happy to work with you!

MY SERVICES

60-Minute Massage: Great for specific, focused work. An hour sounds like a long time, but it goes by fast, and cramming a full-body session into this amount of time can feel very rushed, especially if you have any particular areas in need of special attention. If you have an area of extreme tension or injury, give yourself the gift of a whole hour to more fully address the issue, and attend to both the actively painful areas and to the muscles that may be stealthily contributing to or even causing the pain.

90-Minute Massage: This is my most popular service! Ninety minutes is a lovely amount of time to fully relax into a whole-body session, with some extra focus on one particular area, if needed. It also works very well for deep-focus work on one to two specific areas.

120-Minute Massage: This service makes for a very satisfying full-body session, allowing ample time for some additional focus on a couple of areas. Or, if you have multiple areas calling for particular attention, consider allowing yourself a full two hours to receive the focused work your body needs.

Nota Bene: If we've never worked together before, please tell me a little about what you need from your session in the "Notes" section when scheduling, e.g., your particular areas of pain or tension, or if you are coming in with a recent injury, or if you require anything in particular in the way of bolstering in order to be comfortable on the table.

ABOUT MY OFFICE
My office is located at 2945 Center Green Ct #E102, near the SW corner of Valmont and Foothills. You can turn south on Center Green Ct, take your second right, and park in any unmarked space in the lot; or, you can turn south on Wilderness, take your first left, and do the same. The suite E entry door is on the SE corner of the 2945 building, facing Center Green Ct, and my office is upstairs. I do need to make it clear that the only way to access the upper levels is via stairs; there is no elevator in the building. If an injury or the use of a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility assistance device prohibits you from using stairs, please contact me.

ABOUT ME

I knew from a young age that I wanted to make a career out of helping other people. As a child, I wanted to be a doctor. As a young adult, I decided on becoming a counselor. I graduated with a degree in Psychology, but when the time came to go to grad school, that didn't feel right anymore. I didn't know what else I wanted to do or was missing until two years later, when an intractable running injury got me in for my first massage. That's when the lights came on—what was missing was the power of working with the body, the power of safe, intentional, non-judgmental touch.

I moved to Boulder in 2011, graduated from Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 2013, and today I have a career that I love and am doing what I know I was meant to do.

I named my practice Life in Balance because, as all of my clients hear me say at least once, it's all connected. Disruption in any one area of the musculoskeletal system has an effect, direct or indirect, on all of the others. The musculoskeletal system affects the physiological and nervous systems, and vice versa. The physical body is inextricable from one's mental and emotional life, which in turn can profoundly affect one's spiritual life and practices. The older I get and the longer I practice, the more deeply I learn that the principle of balance—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual balance, both individually and collectively—is fundamental to a happy, creative, productive life.

Bodywork has changed and continues to change my life, through the relief of pain and stress, the creation of awareness around my tension patterns, and the simple comfort of the compassionate presence of another human being. I absolutely believe in its ability to do so for everyone who is willing to receive these gifts. I feel honored that my clients trust me with their bodies, and allow me to help facilitate these kind of changes for them; I look forward to continuing to deepen my practice and expand my toolbox, so that I can as effectively as possible help my clients bring balance to their lives.
