Prior to massage I have a background in undergraduate psychology and biology, as well as time spent practicing, training to teach, and teaching yoga. I completed my massagw training at Body Wisdom in Des Moines, IA in the fall of 2021. During my training I took a range of classes and developed an approach to massage and bodywork that emphasizes the interconnection between different parts of the body as well as the body, the mind, and emotions. My approach combines Eastern and Western philosophies and techniques. I intend to hold spade for each client where they are each session, and offer recommendations for new modalities I think would benefit them as well as personalized recommendations on how to care for oneself post-massage.
