As a dedicated massage therapist and Reiki level 2 practitioner, my first goal is to listen- listen, to what you say, and to how your body communicates with me during our session. I prioritize creating a safe environment for the nervous system to relax, in turn, allowing the body to release stored tension. By combining deep tissue and trigger point techniques with slow, intentional, and curious movements, I hope to foster a stronger connection between you and your body, connecting to the innate intelligence and healing ability that you already carry within you. I also incorporate myofascial release, pin and stretch, and lymphatic drainage, amongst other techniques. When I’m not with clients, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors and with friends, practicing yoga and meditating. During the warmer months, you can often find me swimming in bodies of water and not wearing shoes. I love a good cup of coffee any time of the day. I am passionate about understanding the intricate connection between mind, body, and heart, and I look forward to joining your journey in leading a more integrated and full life!

Massage
Therapeutic massage uses various modalities that range from deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point, sports massage, and Swedish massage to focus on creating space, alleviating pain, improving mood and sleep, helping your body to move more fluidly, and gain balance within your nervous system.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle light massage that helps to direct lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system and cleans toxins, proteins, cancer cells, viruses, and dead cells about 20 times faster than the body is able to do on it's own. Once a large amount of toxins are eliminated, the body is able to relax more deeply and use it's energy more directly to regenerate the cells.
