Bodywork

Massage Therapist

I first got licensed in Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Therapy back in 2004 in Dallas, Tx. Over the next two years I cut my teeth practicing independently along with some side gigs at a local day spa and Massage Envy. I moved on to The Big Island of Hawaii where my perspective on massage was broadened. Taking inspiration from a traditional Maori healer that would visit the area on occasion, I began working on people very deeply, pushing them to the edge of what they could take. The benefit they received was remarkable and it forever changed the way I approach bodywork. Three years later I moved on to California, where I pursued other occupational interests, but continued doing massage for about two years before giving it up to focus on my other work. Life returned me home to Alabama several years later and in 2020 I decided to get back to therapeutic touch. Alabama law being what it is I had to go back to school in order to legally practice. I gladly did and have been happily massaging ever since. Living so many places and meeting and learning from so many different teachers and cultures has given me an expanded view of my work and I integrate the best of it into your time on the table.
