What kind of pressure can I expect to receive?

My pressure generally ranges from light to medium, but pressure is always a conversation and tailored towards what the client is needing and what the body responds to best. 

What modalities do you use the most?

I take an integrative approach to therapeutic bodywork, weaving together multiple modalities to best suit your goals and needs. Most often I use a blend of Swedish massage, myofascial release, deep tissue, prenatal and postpartum approaches, trigger point, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, basic lymphatic drainage, stretching, joint mobilization, and movement education.

What got you into bodywork?

I’ve been a student and lover of dance for most of my life, gifting me a deep fascination and reverence for the power of the body. Over the years, I’ve navigated multiple injuries that kept me from doing what I love. Through a long healing journey that included consistent bodywork, not only was I able to heal, but I learned so much about the body's capacity to change. It was this process and the tools I learned along the way that ignited my passion of sharing them with others.

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

I am an artist, birth & postpartum doula, and lover of the outdoors. Just like bodywork, these practices also require curiosity, creativity, and attunement. They all have taught me to be present to what is moving, patient for things to unfold in their own time, and to stay grounded in the midst of transformation.
