“I love offering sessions that combine sensitivity and strength to support deep relaxation of the nervous system and allow for deeply held tensions in ones body and mind to release. The sessions i offer are often a blend of flowing massage to support relaxation, combined with deep tissue to ease restrictions. I also incorporate the occasional Thai massage stretch to help open up the joints & promote more energy flow throughout the body. On occasion I also bring in the subtle art of acupressure for emotional balancing if this is wished for."

“My foundation in the healing arts started as a child with my mother, a Japanese moxibustion massage practitioner. I saw so many miracles of healing during her sessions. I lived in Hawaii for 16 years studying Hawaiian healing, including Lomi Lomi, dance and chanting with various Kumus (teachers). I bring this body and energy knowledge to the massage table.”

I love helping people be able to feel and move better! I often tell my clients I know how to speak “musclese”.

I’m also good at smoothing and calming the tension between you and your body, including knowing how to put knotty muscles back in their place. Helping people gain mobility and feel more in tune and at peace with their bodies is always my goal!

Massage has been part of my life since I was a young child. I have a deep connection with my hands and allow my hands to guide me to the muscles that need relief. My intention is to offer a safe space where one can deeply relax and drop into the body. I individualize each session based on the client’s specific needs, add guided breath work, stretches, and use flowing massage strokes to encourage relaxation.
