I am an Alaska- and Washington-licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) based in Bellingham, WA, and I am passionate about providing high-quality Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) care to my clients. As a mobile massage therapist, I proudly serve clients throughout Whatcom and Skagit Counties, including areas from Blaine to Mount Vernon, Anacortes to Oak Harbor, and everything in between, bringing expert care directly to the comfort of your home.

I provide Swedish massage, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, and assisted stretching techniques. With advanced knowledge of kinesiology, anatomy, and physiology from medical training as an EMT and nursing student, treatments are tailored with both therapeutic intention and attention to detail.

I am also certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Complete Decongestive Therapy through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS) and completed a 135-hour Certified Lymphedema Therapist training program in 2024. Using the Vodder Method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, I help clients address water retention, bloating, and normal swelling (edema) while supporting the body's natural healing processes. For those seeking lymphedema treatment, I offer comprehensive care including Manual Lymphatic Drainage, compression bandaging, and custom garment measuring. I particularly enjoy working with post-operative clients recovering from plastic and cosmetic procedures, including tummy tucks, liposuction, BBLs, breast surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries. I also work with clients living with all stages of lipedema and lymphedema.

As a father, I understand how difficult it can be for parents and busy individuals to find time for self-care. Mobile massage enables you to receive professional bodywork in a familiar, stress-free environment, eliminating the need to arrange childcare, sit in traffic, or drive home feeling exhausted afterward.

My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care that helps every client feel supported, comfortable, and confident throughout their healing journey. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply looking to reduce swelling and improve wellness, I am committed to helping you achieve your health goals. I look forward to helping you feel your best! Schedule your appointment today and experience the convenience of expert lymphatic care delivered directly to your home.
