Welcome to a space where therapeutic expertise and intentional luxury come together.

With nearly 20 years of experience, I offer customized massage therapy designed to relieve pain, calm the nervous system, and restore balance throughout the body. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs, blending advanced clinical techniques with intuitive, compassionate care to create a deeply personalized experience.

My practice is located in a charming 1910 Victorian home, with the treatment room nestled on the third floor in a cozy, attic-like setting. Clients often describe the space as peaceful, comforting, and quietly magical—a true retreat for rest, healing, and renewal.

My background includes more than 8 years of working in a chiropractic setting, giving me a strong foundation in results-driven bodywork while allowing me to create an atmosphere that feels calm, elevated, and restorative.

My training and specialties include:

CranioSacral Therapy Level 2 Practitioner
Certified Advanced Bamboo-Fusion Practitioner
Reiki Master, trained with Diane Stein
Sound Bath Practitioner
Dynamic and static cupping
Ashiatsu
Facelifting massage
Muscle release techniques

For those seeking a more layered healing experience, sessions may also include subtle energy work and sound therapy, supporting both the physical body and the energetic system.

This is more than massage—it is an invitation to reset, restore, and reconnect.

Please note: The treatment space is located on the third floor and requires walking up stairs, as elevator access is not available.
