I completed my initial massage training over 17 years ago at Heartwood Institute in Garberville, CA in 1995.  Since that time I have pursued life-long learning and experience in the natural health field as a practitioner and holistic instructor.  I have worked with a diverse spectrum of clients with varying health goals and issues, adding a range of bodywork modalities through the years in addition to practicing as a western herbalist.

 I approach bodywork sessions from a body-mind standpoint, consciously holding quiet space for clients to completely relax and engage with their experience. Each massage is a unique integration of techniques including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular, and Energy Work, based on the needs and desires of each individual client.  I offer hands-on support for those healing from injury, releasing accumulated stress, and rediscovering deeper comfort and wisdom in the body.   I specialize in Maternity Massage and encourage pre- and post-natal mothers to receive extra care at this vital time.
