SUMMARY
As an inveterate learner I’ve maintained a sense of curiosity, wonder, and fascination about human experience and how our bodies reflect our experiences. I decided on a career in massage therapy to help people achieve improved wellness and to better connect with their own bodies while also learning about and exploring the vastness of human experience through touch.

WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGES UNIQUE?
As an experienced manual therapist I understand that each bodywork session is unique and requires a customized approach. My personal massage style incorporates a variety of modalities including myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue, and Swedish, and I work with each client to develop a personalized treatment to suit their individual needs. I approach each massage session by meeting the client where they are with the intention of guiding them toward increased options for movement, improved wellness, refined body awareness, and greater trust in their body’s own deeper wisdom.

WHAT DO YOU APPRECIATE MOST WHEN RECEIVING MASSAGE?
One thing I appreciate about receiving massage is a therapist who is present with me throughout the session. When the massage therapist is truly present, when I feel listened to and cared for, I can easily relax and experience the full benefits of the bodywork I’m receiving.

WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE?
Receiving massage from other bodyworkers, taking continuing education classes, connecting with my clients, and learning about my own body by investing in my own movement practices and fitness journey all help me to maintain my passion about massage therapy.
