Specialties

I blend a number of massage therapy styles including Swedish, Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, as well as Cranio-​Sacral technique. I specialize in stress management, pain relief and rehabilitative massage to assist in recovery from injury and trauma. Each massage session is designed to «meet you where you are» at the moment. Just as no two people are alike, no two massage sessions are every alike. I strive to honor the on-​going, dynamic process that is happening within each individual who comes to my practice.

When you work with me, you get a passionate, dedicated, highly-​skilled and intuitive practitioner who works with you as a whole person rather than just the problems or symptoms you may presently be experiencing. Whether you see me for a massage, an individual Feldenkrais® session, or attend a class, my hope is that you leave feeling better about yourself in the moment, being capable of taking the changes you made and the learning you discovered into your everday life.

History

Established in 1997.

At the age of 26 I suffered a severe spinal cord while snowboarding that left me without the use of my legs. Until then, I had taken my body and it’s amazing capacity to function and do most everything I wanted it to do, for granted.

My injury, although devastating at the time, ultimately proved to be a gift. What emerged from this challenging time was greater empathy and compassion for people living with pain and other perceived impediments to a fulfilling life, in whatever form it manifests.

After two years of recovery I decided to pursue a career as a massage therapist, and have been a practicing professional bodyworker since 1997. I am fortunate to be doing what I truly love. Assisting people on their journey away from pain, discomfort and ‘dis-​ease’ and toward a less stressful, more pleasurable, healthy and vivacious life is greatly rewarding.
