I used to think massage was a luxury. But I have come to realize just how critical body work is to our overall well-being. Yes, it can bring a deep relaxation to the nervous system, releasing stress and tension, but even more significantly, multiple issues in our joints and muscles can only be addressed through therapeutic touch. Regular body work can counter act the harsh postures we experience for long hours every day, can bring length and strength back into injuries, and help maintain a safe homeostasis.

My guiding principle is that health is reached holistically and the body responds to consistent input. Overall lifestyle, including the physical, emotional and mental body, must be taken into account when evaluating and treating symptoms of chronic pain and injury.

I am attracted to this profession because it allows me to help you improve and maintain your own health. I strive to increase your anatomical self-awareness, essentially expanding your understanding of your own body, how it moves, how it's all connected. Maybe we can open up some nerve signals that you've never experienced before. I hope to inspire and empower you to move towards a healthy lifestyle. Growth happens with thought, conversations, practice and finding which modalities of wellness work best for you.

I get just as much from our sessions as you do; every session is a learning opportunity and an experiment. We will work together as a client/therapist partnership. I strive to allow space for open communication because I believe that the most important work is coming from inside YOU. My role is to facilitate change.
