For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to make a difference in the world, initially by being the next Jane Goodall! However, as a ballet dancer and long-distance runner,

I was also all too familiar with pain from numerous injuries. 

 

I pursued a degree in biology and ecology, then worked for a year in a small camp in the Central African Republic with western lowland gorillas and agile mangabeys. It was incredible, and yet, somehow, not quite right for me. While grateful for this life-changing experience, I realized that being isolated from people and community didn’t fill my heart. As I searched for my way forward, I immersed myself in yoga. My instructor was also a gifted bodyworker who helped me heal a long-time back injury and connected me to my first energy and bodywork teacher. A lightbulb went off — I knew I had to learn this work.  

 

​After completing my teacher training and massage therapy licensing, I felt the difference my hands could make. I experienced the power to heal physical and emotional wounds in my body by being held in a loving presence, heard, and, most importantly, believed.

 

I get to witness that healing as I guide you to unblock and release trauma, as we stabilize and mobilize a joint, as you remember just how strong and resilient you are. And that truly is the greatest gift.
