My journey into the area of holistic health and body awareness began when I was only 15 years old.  I was in search of a non-invasive and permanent path to feeling relaxed, healthy, confident and happy.  I started by exercising and reading books on natural ways to achieve happiness, health, and enlightenment.  I consider myself open-minded, friendly, and compassionate with a sense of humor.  

Over the years I found myself wanting to learn more about the physical and psychological body and how it operates.  I experimented with and became educated about physiology and therapeutic techniques through reading, practice, and personal friendships.  

After achieving balance and serenity in my life, I sought an avenue for aiding others to achieve the same.  Everyone deserves to feel relaxed, healthy, and present in the moment.  Through the study of holistic health, therapeutic massage and bodywork, I bring to my clients an educated, sincere, and aware massage therapist.  I also have a strong belief that care should be accessible to all, so it is important to me that I keep my rates reasonable and offer a sliding scale for clients in need.    

I have maintained a private practice since graduating from UEI College of Massage in 2006.

My diverse training in multiple techniques and my personal body awareness enables me to create individual and personalized treatments for my clients.  I have worked in spas, hospitals, chiropractic offices, medical clinics, and massage clinics.  I have treated athletes, post-op patients, geriatrics, clients with chronic pain/medical conditions, cancer patients, pediatrics, prenatal women and people that just need to relax.  I have been treating clients professionally for over 10 years.  

My husband and I relocated to Sonoma County from southern California in January of 2010.  I am excited to continue my journey here and bring affordable, professional, compassionate bodywork to my great clients. Having experience helping people feel better through massage and knowing they venture back into the world with a more positive outlook and less pain, I understand how beneficial bodywork can be.  As a clinical massage therapist, it is also important to know when to refer a client to appropriate medical care when massage therapy is not providing positive results.  

I have a professional education in the fields of therapeutic massage and bodywork including: Anatomy; Pathology; Physiology; Kinesiology; Eastern and Western Bodywork Theory.  I continue my education to constantly be up to date on current techniques as well as to advance my skills as a professional massage therapist.  I have real-life experience in health and wellness as I have been committed to maintaining personal health and balance with physical activities and education for more than 20 years.
