About Me
I completed my initial training at one of the best private massage schools in the southeast, the
Body Therapy Institute. I feel very lucky to have had quality of touch and presence emphasized in addition to the rigorous scientific aspect of massage therapy.
Dance, my other passion, contributes greatly to my practice. I specialize in helping clients move through their lives with more joy and ease by teaching the body new patterns of movement and organization. I'm also nationally certified and a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals.

My Values as a Massage Therapist
Accessibility
Having been there myself, I do what I can to help make massage available to people with financial barriers. Students receive 15% off all bodywork, plus I run occasional $50 specials by email (see
home page to join the listserv). You can also get $10 off an appointment for each person referred. If you are interested in trading your products or services for mine, please email me to get my most recent barter list.
Authenticity
Often health care professionals seem too hurried to give the attention and caring we'd all ideally like. As a massage therapist, I can serve this unmet need with my presence and through my hands. My goal is to make each interaction as authentic as possible, meeting clients on common ground.
Community Service
In order to make massage more visible while helping out causes I care about, I work with several nonprofit organizations, providing massage and donating part of the proceeds. Please
contact me if your organization could use some extra funds!
Continuing Education
I regularly review and educate myself as well as take continuing education courses, as I can always learn more to help serve my clients and satisfy my intense curiosity about the nature of the human body.
