“I love offering sessions that combine sensitivity and strength to support deep relaxation of the nervous system and allow for deeply held tensions in one's 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 and 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!

“ I love offering sessions that are catered to my clients' needs. I combine intuitive bodywork, energy work, and deep muscle work for overall healing. My goal is always to send the client into a deep state of nervous system relaxation which is a key component in the body releasing tension held in the muscles. I specialize in Craniosacral Therapy which guides my intuitive journey while working. I believe the trifecta of body, mind, and spirit healing, relaxing, and moving together creates holistic balance and I love being a part of my clients' journey to that balanced state. “

​

I am passionate about helping others unwind trauma, releasing shame, and accessing empowerment through touch. Through expanding the aliveness and well-being of others, I believe change can spiral out from our own bodies and into our communities. Alongside this aim, helping the body move from contracted to relaxed states while mobilizing tissue and joints leads to some of the most effective outcomes I've experienced in giving and receiving massage- allowing for the whole body and mind system to experience itself in a new way.

I was inspired to study massage through numerous personal injuries, surgeries and a continued fascination with our human capacity to recover. Body work has been passed down through observing and receiving by a majority of cultures in history. I am honored to share in the tradition of human touch to relieve stress, relax and restore.
