I was introduced to massage on my own healing journey after a traumatic accident in which I broke my back and wrist. While surgery “fixed” my spine, I was left with chronic pain for over 3 years and unable to enjoy my body how I wanted. I began to search for alternatives to the standard medical model. This led me to acupucture, feldenkrais, yoga, reiki, craniosacral therapy, and finally massage. All of these therapies helped some, but it was massage that finally reconnected me to my body and made me feel well enough to do the activities I love. Today I am grateful for my accident and my healing journey as it has given me purpose and compassion to help others on theirs. I take an integrative approach and combine medical, orthopedic, and Thai modalities into my work to offer the most comprehensive and customized massages for each of my clients. I specialize in injury management and surgical implants as these require a deep understanding of human anatomy and I have a first-hand understanding of this process. My style, while direct and medical, also helps to calm the nervous system and create a safe environment for the healing process. I encourage clients to take an active role in their own healing via exercises, stretches, good dieting, and stress-relieving activities. I am dedicated to learning and continuing to be a better practitioner and am honored to be a part of your healing journey.
