I love helping people reconnect with their bodies through massage therapy, allowing my clients to receive new information about their bodies every single time they walk away from my table.  My work is both technical and intuitive.  I never give the same massage twice, always responding to what the muscles and joints are offering that day.  When my clients ask in wonder how I know how to find "the spots" so well, I simply say with a shrug, "They find me!"

I am married to Brian, the coolest man I know and economist extraordinaire at Drake University (my title for him, not Drake's) and I am the proud mother of our two beautiful boys, Isaac and Eli.  When not tending to my family, I enjoy exercising, reading, getting outside, and writing about the body and massage in my Substack newsletter: Reconnect DSM.
