My path toward embodied ritual began in the arts — painting, dance, performance, and film. I earned a BA in Digital Art from ASU in 2008. Through that time, while working as a medical insurance underwriter, I saw how often the system treated symptoms instead of root causes. That realization pulled me toward a more holistic, embodied, and relational path.

I trained in massage therapy at East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, graduating in 2016. I continued advanced studies in Thai bodywork, Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage, intra-oral jaw massage, structural integration, and pelvic bodywork. I also hold a 200-hour yoga teacher certification. My integrative sessions draw from all techniques, to support pain relief, balanced movement, and nervous system regulation. I approach bodywork as a healer as well as teacher, helping clients develop a personal roadmap to a lifetime of wellness.

Alongside bodywork, I’ve always been fascinated by body adornment practices. I apprenticed in henna in 2012, co-created the documentary World of Henna in 2020, and became a licensed tattoo artist that same year. I offer custom ornamental tattoos - large and small - inspired by henna, geometry, floral motifs, and global pattern traditions.

Whether through massage or tattooing, my work is about every day ritual and embodiment — reconnecting with the body, marking transitions, and celebrating personal stories in meaningful, lasting ways..
