For over 30 years I have been studying the body. Ballet consumed my early life, including two European tours. I earned a Biology degree from Oberlin.  Yoga practice and teaching lead me to living off-and-on in Southeast Asia. My lifelong dedication to expressive movement lends to my responsive approach to bodywork.

Mine is the Wounded Healer journey. I depended on holistic therapies and devoted yoga practice to sustain myself through bouts of severe depression as well as a high-stakes web design career in the go-go 90s dot-com boom.

Stress-induced digestive failure, coupled with tropical poisoning and heart-break met in a perfect storm.  I lost tons of weight and my vitality was simply seeping away. My friends noticed "you have one foot in the other world." This was true.  Ultimately I would transform the illness via meditation while living in a Thai Buddhist monastery in 2000.  I healed myself, and went directly from the monster on to begin my bodywork studies. 

I bring this devotion to bring back your ease and balance now.<!--EndFragment-->
