A third-generation Italian and Canadian Vermonter, I was born in the Northeast Kingdom and spent parts of my early childhood exploring the landscapes of Washington and Arizona before returning home to Vermont for good. Growing up among forests, rivers, and open hills shaped my love for nature, community, and intentional living. I recently relocated my family to the Burlington area and feel grateful to offer my work within such a vibrant and wellness-oriented community.

Massage therapy has always felt like a natural extension of who I am. Long before formal training, friends and family would ask for help easing sore backs and tired feet. After years of teaching yoga and offering Reiki in my community, I chose to deepen my studies while completing my B.S. in Wellness and Alternative Medicine and graduating from Green Mountain Massage School in 2016. My background includes Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki training (Levels I, II, and III), and over 16 years of personal yoga and meditation practice, all of which gently inform my grounded, intuitive approach to bodywork.

I believe massage is both therapeutic and restorative — a space where pain can soften, the nervous system can settle, and a deeper connection to the body can unfold. My own experiences with injury and recovery have strengthened my sensitivity to how the body communicates and heals. I work collaboratively and thoughtfully, tailoring each session to support your individual goals, whether that means focused relief, improved mobility, or simply time to rest and reconnect. It is an honor to witness the steady, cumulative benefits that consistent care can bring — greater ease, resilience, and a more rooted sense of well-being.
