Work With Me
I am a massage and bodywork therapist (NCLMBT #13426) and somatic educator. I work individually with people on their path of self-discovery.
“I feel, therefore I can be free.”

Bodywork
-
Each Session Includes:
– Intention setting and the opportunity to feel and express your intention in the body. This can include deeper self-reflection, movement or body-based practice when appropriate.
– Hands-on Bodywork that aligns with your intention. We will always go over and collaborate on what the treatment includes.
– Our time ends with space for observation and self-reflection.
Based on your intention, our work can include somatic resource/skill building and guidance for your home practice. I may offer readings if available and requested.
Please note: If you are not ready or available for hands-on work, we can continue with guided embodiment work. Or if you are primarily interested in embodiment coaching, please contact me before scheduling for a consultation conversation.
Recurring appointments are available.
My Approach
Our body and state of being is a site of deep wisdom. When we listen to, breathe with, and move from the body, we can experience radically transformative shifts in how we live and relate to life. As more of our experience is welcomed it becomes more possible for us to live present, adaptable lives and align our actions in the world. I work with people to welcome more of their experience and soul energy into their daily life.
My offering is informed by deep listening, somatic practices and embodiment coaching, myofascial and structural integration, meridian acupressure and energetics, biodynamic craniosacral therapy and palm healing, and both mindfulness and somatic meditation. I intentionally blend embodiment and hands-on bodywork to support body, mind, spirit, social context, and soul.
I take a whole-person, collaborative approach. Together we will work with your intention to skillfully notice your direct felt-sense and support your body’s wisdom.
My approach to hands-on bodywork is often subtle or meditative, and invites deep rest. While the hands-on work can range from energetic nervous system support to deeper structural work, the quality of touch is specific and not meant to be painful or forceful. My intention is to attune and attend to you as a whole, meeting you where you are and allowing you to feel what is and what might want to happen next.
Ongoing bodywork supports an increased sense of agency and connection in the body. When appropriate, I offer guidance in building the skills of internal and external resourcing to work with bodily memory, emotions, and stress responses. Our work together can help you nurture a fulfilling relationship with yourself, the people around you, and this living world.
The body is a healing I am honored to witness. This work is a gift and a delight. I look forward to working with you.
This work is therapeutic but not psychotherapy.
I do no diagnose mental or physical health conditions.
