I am a licensed massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, and LCPC-c candidate, dedicated to supporting clients through integrative, trauma-informed care. Originally from Maine, I spent a decade in California, where I trained at the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB) in San Diego. There, I studied under seasoned practitioners who emphasized a holistic, body-centered approach to healing.

My work is grounded in compassion, presence, and a deep respect for the mind-body connection. I serve a diverse clientele with a wide range of goals, including: stress reduction, relief from chronic tension and low-back pain, increased mobility, TMJ and headache relief, improved sleep, enhanced athletic performance, fertility support, postpartum care, and the cultivation of sustainable self-care practices.

A lifelong student and knowledge seeker, I earned my B.A. in Social and Behavioral Sciences from the University of Southern Maine in 2022 and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health in 2025, with the intention of integrating somatic awareness into psychotherapeutic work.

I find balance and recharge mentally and physically through my connection to the natural world and Insight Meditation.
