Inspired by my mother, who's been a licensed massage therapist for over 30 years, I have been practicing for 9 years now. I attended Central Oregon Community College for my certification and specialize in Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Myofascial Release with an added modality in Cupping.  Massage is integral to both mental and physical well-being, and the power of positive touch cannot be overstated. I do NOT discriminate on any basis. Body positivity, acceptance, and general inclusiveness for everyone are crucial to my beliefs and my practice.  On a fun note, I have a B.A. in English, write fiction under multiple pen names, have previously served in the USMC, and have grown children, a dog, and 3 cats. My favorite hobbies are reading, hiking, and enjoying a good mystery. Oh, and I live for a caffeine.
