While my interest in bodywork began in the nineties, my formal training started in 2011 when I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Leigh Evans and Summer Quashie in New York City. At the time, I was working full time in a demanding, international non-profit organization that coached global multi-national companies to have a better handle on their climate impact throughout their supply chains. This introduction to bodywork blazed the trail for studying therapeutic massage at the Downeast School of Massage in Waldoboro, Maine in 2016-2017. Since then, I have completed several advanced trainings including Myofascial Meridians with Anatomy Trains, jaw pain and TMJ study with Joe Rodin, including intra-oral treatments, a course in Thai Massage with Krishna Peter Perry, and training in Cranio Sacral Therapy. I have also completed workshops in childrens yoga, Ayurveda, and advanced alignment and yoga sutra in addition to taoist meditation practices. My background is varied, but a common theme of finding efficiency and doing meaningful work is woven throughout. Fresh out of Boston University, the ink nearly dry on my Anthropology degree, I dove into researching the sustainability programs at major corporations. This evolved into database development and management, marketing, and eventually helping to create a global system for corporations to monitor and improve their suppliers climate change response and preparation. I am a cis female therapist and my practice is open to and safe for people of any identity. I am open to being educated by clients about differing needs. When Im not doing bodywork, yoga, or playing on ropes courses, youll find me singing, sewing, rock climbing, playing with my dog, or some combination thereof.
