WHO I AM & WHAT I DO
My Background
With a decade and a half of experience in massage therapy, bodywork, and energy healing, I help people feel more comfortable, grounded, and at home in their bodies.
Each session is tailored to what you need that day—whether we’re continuing to address the concerns that first brought you in or making space for something new that your body is asking for. I blend thoughtful massage and bodywork techniques with energy healing to create a supportive experience that honors your individual goals.
Since beginning my practice in 2011, I’ve completed more than 20,000 hours of hands-on work. What continues to inspire me is blending the skills and techniques I’ve learned over the years with thought-filled, intuitive listening to create bodywork that supports balance, ease, and reconnection.
Continuity of care is an important part of my practice. Many clients choose to return because regular bodywork helps them feel their best, so they can continue doing the things they need—and love—to do.
I’d be honored to support you on your wellness journey.

Get It Worked Out
Massage was what helped guide me to where I am today!
Massage helped guide me to where I am today.
Before I began working in bodywork, I spent about 15 years in restaurant management. The early mornings, long days, late nights, and time spent on my feet took a real toll. Regular massage became an important part of my self-care. I looked forward to each session because I could name the areas that needed attention and leave feeling more relaxed, rested, and able to keep going.
Over time, I noticed that the chronic pain and stress I carried were affecting more than my body. They were showing up in my sleep, my energy, and my everyday life. Massage helped me feel a meaningful shift, and it opened my eyes to how supportive bodywork can be.
Six months after receiving my Level I Reiki attunement, I began considering a career change. I explored different schools and areas of study, but I kept feeling drawn back to massage. Although I was not immediately certain that becoming a massage therapist was the path for me, the more I learned and practiced, the more it felt right.
The positive feedback I received from clients helped confirm that I was doing work I was meant to do. I found a better sense of balance, and I discovered that when you genuinely enjoy what you do, work can feel more like purpose.
With deepest gratitude, thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me.
