At the heart of what I aim to offer is a safe, welcoming and nonjudgmental space where my clients can tune in to what their body communicates. With stillness and therapeutic touch we are often able to reassess and release what is no longer serving our overall wellbeing. While I do “deep tissue” work often, I have come to define that term as finding our point of resistance and staying on the side of comfort and receptivity to allow change to happen. My sessions blend slow pressure, trigger point, myofascial release and cupping while aiming to balance effective deep work and nervous system support. I really love discussing ways to incorporate tools and techniques into your life to address recurring issues. Whether it be with massage tools, specific stretches, or ways to modify the repetitive demands of your work, I try to offer easily integrated suggestions that build on the work we do together.

 

I studied psychology in college where I became deeply intrigued by practices that help regulate the nervous system. Following that interest, I went on to study and teach yoga. Sparked by my fascination with anatomy and alignment I enrolled in massage school where my interests combined into my current work. After the birth of my son in 2021, I developed a passion for working with clients through the birthing year. I trained as a Birth Doula in 2022, and completed an intensive pre and postnatal massage training that same year. I think birth and the postpartum journey is such a potent time to discover your unique strengths and capacities, and I love supporting that growth. 

I grew up in New England, and have called the Pacific Northwest home for the last 12 years. I am my happiest when I have a balance of challenging activity and grounding practices in my life. I especially love exploring local trails with my toddler, snowboarding, cooking cozy meals, and restorative yoga.
