Who am I?
I'm a chill, yet passionate, massage therapist who finds immense satisfaction in bringing therapeutic restoration, relaxation, and relief to people. I strive to be able to serve different people from all walks of life, with any body type, to the best of my ability. I prefer to listen and learn from people, especially when I don't personally know, because I think everyone should feel welcome and safe when receiving massage services.
I am a muscle nerd. I have always found fascination with the human body and have always enjoyed tactile exploration. After studying psychology for two years, I quit and began my massage therapy journey. I spent 8 years growing while working with chiropractic patients. I have often worked with injuries such as repetitive stress injuries, those in post-surgery rehab, and those who’ve been in car accidents. I have experience working with and guiding post-surgery scar tissue adhesions (including transition related top surgery) and I have seen the incredible results that can occur with the right bodywork.
My curiosity and passion for bodywork means I am adept at finding problem areas quickly and efficiently. I have an intuitive approach to finding knots in tight muscles and connective tissue. My hands just know where to go and what to do.
I am admittedly a little heavy-handed at times, but since I know everyone is a little different, I will always adjust to accommodate each client's needs accordingly.
I will always communicate with you to the best of my ability. We are a team!
Whatever your therapeutic goals may be, I want to help in any way I can within my scope to improve your quality of life and help you to function and thrive. Let’s set a goal together and develop a plan! I’d love to become a part of your self-care and wellness team.
A Little Bit More (Irrelevant Stuff...Or Not) About Me
In my free time, I play video games (Elder Scrolls Online on Xbox is my main game). I also dabble in graphic design, and study web development on and off. Because of this, I am personally aware of how gaming and tech can affect the human body.
In pre-COVID times, I was fairly active in several local community events and programs, and I'm now working my way to returning (masked, of course).
I’m a big fantasy and Lord of the Rings nerd. I also love a good sci-fi. Sometimes I get on a documentary kick. Steven Universe is my cartoon obsession. Dragons are my favorite animal.
I'm an Aries Sun with a Cancer Moon and Pisces Ascendant...so I bring problem-solving, creative, nurturing energy to my massage practice.
