History

Established in 2008.

After studying art in college and trying out numerous careers, from photographic development to teaching English in Japan, I was drawn to massage due to my great interest in anatomy and my desire to help others.

I received my education at the Brian Utting School of Massage, graduating in 2007, then worked part time in a spa and part time for myself.

After the economy began to sour, I discovered that, while the spa clients had dried up, clients from my private practice were continuing to come in; so I decided to quit the spa, dedicate myself to my practice full-​time, and move to my location on the Burke-​Gilman trail in Fremont. I couldn’t be happier; it has always been my desire to pursue my small business full time and the economy gave me just the push I needed.

Business Owner

I graduated from the Brian Utting School of Massage, where I participated in an internship with a chiropractor in Bellevue — gaining experience working with a variety of issues ranging from fibromyalgia, to post traumatic stress disorder, to disc degeneration. Previously, I’d received a bachelors at UW in art.

Clients have described my work as specific, gentle but deep, and intuitive. Though I enjoy working towards a variety of goals, I find myself frequently working on those who would like to improve their posture or recover from the strains of athletic training. I work hard to foster an open line of communication with my clients and their input is invaluable and I want them to feel comfortable and safe.
