Ever since I can remember, I've been drawn to helping people. From an early age, people always told me I was a 'good listener.' As a massage therapist, the most important thing you can do is to 'listen' on a deep level. In 2003, I graduated from The Swedish Institute, received my massage therapy license from New York State and have never looked back!

The last sixteen years has been a gratifying journey and honor to facilitate healing and watch transformation in my clients. Over these years, I have worked in a medical massage practice, chiropractor's office, sports rehab centers, a prenatal massage therapy clinic and my private practice.

I moved across the country in 2008 and found my true home in California. I love exploring our beautiful Bay Area with my husband and boys, while focusing on my private practice on the quiet, West End of Alameda.

I have additional certifications in perinatal and geriatric massage and a special love for these two modalities. (During prenatal massage, I use the Body Cushions system, which allows you to lay comfortably and safely on your belly, even during late pregnancy.)

I look forward to continue serving my community and to be open to the next steps of educational growth, collaboration and connection!
