What kind of pressure can I expect to receive?

My pressure ranges from medium to deep, but is entirely determined by what my client wants and what their body needs. I like my sessions to be intentional and I focus on making sure my client is safe and relaxed.

​

What modalities do you use the most?

I practice deep tissue, swedish, myofascial release,  trigger point therapy and cupping. My sessions use a combination of all of these depending on what my client asks for.

​

What got you into bodywork?

My relationship with health and healing began with observing and tending to my own family's chronic health conditions. This led me to questions and genuine curiosity about the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of ourselves and the way in which we can use different healing modalities to ease pain and discomfort and move towards more ease, balance and awareness.

​

What other elements of your life do you bring to your bodywork?

I have always been an active person, and nature is my happy place! I also practice Capoeira, which is an Afro Brazilian martial art that combines dance, music, and culture and is a beautiful example of the African diaspora and the struggle against oppression. “Finding your flow” is often expressed in this art, so like bodywork, I appreciate meeting clients where they are at by working together to find the flow to their own healing journey.
