A look into my journey
In 2012 I began my massage career and opened the door for the a much deeper lifestyle. As I have grown in this practice, I have appreciated the importance of maintaining health through self care. My continuing curiosity into the body's healing mechanism led me to Yoga and eventually Ayurveda. In 2023, I graduated from Maharishi International University with a Masters degree in Ayurveda and Integrated health.  I believe the physiology is designed to heal. My practice centers around enlivening the body's inner intelligence to bring balance and strengthen the mind body connection.

BODYWORK
Complimentary Health Understanding
ASHIATSU
Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy is a barefoot massage technique where the therapist delivers a deep, broad, consistent pressure. The client receives a therapeutic massage without experiencing pain or discomfort.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Myofascial release is an opening within the fascial system. Everyone has a web of experience recorded within their body. When we experience trauma our body has a natural sequence used to reset itself back to a normal function. Since we are emotional beings sometimes our bodies need assistance to unwind into a healing sequence. Myofascial release is a technique which uses slow constant pressure to facilitate a healing sequence.
SARGA BODYWORK
SARGA BODYWORK is a barefoot massage method that employs the use of a fabric strap fastened to a massage table to deliver therapeutic myofascial and deep tissue techniques. This fabric strap is used by practitioners for stability and to add tensional and gravitational force to specific manual therapy methods. These methods, combined with the broad contact surface of the foot facilitate less restriction and more ease and relaxation in recipients’ bodies.
CUPPING THERAPY
A healing technique using vacuum massage to bring up stagnate chi. Cups are placed in strategic areas and/or moved to help open up energy pathways and remove toxins and tension
THAI YOGA MASSAGE
Thai yoga bodywork incorporates passive stretching and compression along meridian lines to open up stagnant energy channels and increase mobility.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep Tissue Massage is a healing technique based on the principle of free and uninterrupted energy flow and helps activate the natural healing processes in each patient's body as well as to restore their physical and emotional well-being. As a certified Massage Therapy Professional, I help patients reduce their stress and anxiety, among other ailments.
CRANIALSACRAL FASCIAL THERAPY
Dr. Barry Gillespie discovered the Craniosacral Fascial System, which consists of a slight motion of the brain and spinal cord pumping cerebrospinal fluid into the fascial web that connects every structural cell of the body. When physical and/or emotional traumas adversely tighten this freely moving system, tremendous pressure can be exerted on associated nerves, muscles, organs, blood vessels, lymph vessels and bones. Profound effects on body function may result as a major cause of the conditions listed above.
GUA SHA
Gua sha is an ancient form of soft tissue mobilization where a tool is used to stimulate circulation around areas of stagnation. Gua sha breaks up stagnant inflammation and brings a petechial rash to the surface of the skin and increases mobilization and relieves pain.
