Find a space where your body finds rest, your nervous system settles, and your mind can unwind. My work blends skillful, intuitive touch with deep listening, helping you release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with your own rhythms.
My path into bodywork began with healing my own body after a major motorcycle accident. In reclaiming my life, I worked with massage therapists, physical therapists, MAT practitioners, acupuncturists, and naturopaths—and became fascinated by the body’s remarkable capacity to heal. From studying Muscle Activation Techniques with Greg Roskopf to exploring Ayurvedic Medicine under Vishnu Dass, and eventually expanding into massage therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, TMJ/intraoral work, and holistic esthetics, my journey has always blended structure, intuition, and whole-body care.
Today, my focus continues to evolve as I deepen into intra-oral TMJ work, sculptural and lymphatic facial massage, and botanical skincare rooted in nervous-system support. As I grow, I’m building a body of services that bring relief, restoration, and rejuvenation to my clients while also honoring my own need for sustainability, presence, and rest.
Being AUDHD, living with an autoimmune condition, and navigating life through a trauma-aware lens have shaped how I practice. I notice subtle shifts in breath, muscle tension, and energy, allowing me to meet each client where they are. Without rush, without judgment, and always at the pace your body needs.
I am LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and grounding space for all bodies and identities. My goal isn’t to “fix” you; it’s to hold space for your body’s own wisdom to guide the way, allowing your system to heal, release, and show me where to go.
Outside of work, I find grounding through movement, roller skating, rock climbing, and time in nature. I love quiet mornings, good food, and slow moments with my cat and dog, who remind me daily to pause, soften, and savor life
