Nice to meet you!

I have been practicing bodywork for close to 10 years, graduating from East West College in 2015. As a freshman in college I studied Integrative Therapeutic Practices at Metropolitan State College in Denver, CO. In learning about alternative medicine I felt deeply moved to step away from an academic world to pursue a more hands on approach to healing.

Those who have chronic symptoms and complex pain patterns can quickly fall through the cracks of our health care system, left to navigate these challenges with little support, often at great financial and emotional expense. I see massage therapy as an effective and affordable approach to healing, offering resource in ways Western Medicine struggles to provide.

Early in my career I was struck by how impactful a collaborative approach to healing can be. This led me to work with a multi-disciplinary team for nearly 7 years in Vancouver, WA. I worked closely alongside Licensed Mental Health Therapists, Naturopaths, Acupuncturists, Nutritionists, and Personal Trainers. I feel passionately about collaboration and the healing that all of these modalities can make possible. I love connecting with the other providers my clients are currently working with!

My personal approach to massage therapy has been greatly shaped by Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and Myofascial Release (MFR). I currently provide Teacher Assistance to the Craniosacral Trainings at Moving Mountain Institute. I love being in the classroom with other body-listeners and continuing to learn alongside MMI students. I hones my own listening and leads to endless inspiration with this work.

I define healing as moving toward whole-ness. Craniosacral Therapy holds a central belief that our bodies have the innate wisdom to bring themselves into balance. My role as a provider is to simply listen and respond through touch, to how your system wants to move toward that wholeness. We are dynamic beings and the way we heal is, also.

Through gentle and present-full touch we will work together to support your body in the ways it calls for. I use CST, MFR, Cupping, and Visceral Manipulation to guide us along the way!

Services

Craniosacral

This gentle modality works with the central nervous system, cranial bones, spine and sacrum, reducing restrictions and encouraging balance. Clients often feel decreased pain, more fully embodied, and deeply restored from this work.

myofascial release

MFR uses the warmth of my hands applied at various vectors of tension throughout the body, slowly shortening and lengthening tissues to create softness and spaciousness.

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral work is gentle manipulation of the abdomen and the visceral structures. These are the major organs as well as connective tissue, lymphatic tissue, vascular and nerve structures within the abdomen. By supporting healthy movement of the visceral structures they function better, positively impacting every system in the body.

Cupping

This Traditional Chinese Medicine technique involves placing glass cups with suction on the body. This allows tension patterns to release in the tissues, removing stagnation and increasing circulation.
