Advanced Massage Therapist Lymphatic Drainage

My intention is to provide support and therapeutic touch to help manage everyday stress, injuries and life’s physical, emotional and energetic challenges. My approach is to navigate the body with you, using modalities that work directly with the fluid systems and central nervous system. I invite you to talk, share, and ask questions about what I do and how it relates to your body.

I continue to expand my knowledge and consciousness of our bodies minds and spirits. Thank you for your love and support.

About me and my practice

I began my journey into bodywork at the Clare Maxwell Hudson School of Massage in London in 1993. I had previously studied holistic health and anatomy and physiology as a part of a bachelors degree at San Francisco State University. One of my earliest and most profound experiences in massage was volunteering at the London Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital. The sharing and transfer of energy in those exchanges greatly influenced me and guided my quest for a practice that is built on a philosophy of balancing, nourishing and restoring.

That was over 15 years ago, what have I been doing since then? I continued my journey studying many different advanced massage techniques including biodynamic craniosacral therapy, manual lymphatic drainage.
