About Me

I graduated from the Oregon School of Massage in 2014 and spent 8 years in Sellwood honing my skills at FoRM Health. I spent a decade in the food service industry before coming around to massage, but healing has always been a part of my story. As a child and young adult I was often noted for my calm presence.  I strive to bring this to the treatment room to create a space where your nervous system can feel safe, grounded, acknowledged and accepted as a whole being. I believe that our bodies tell a story of our experiences, beliefs, thoughts and emotions. Through intuitive, intentional touch I strive to listen to what your body is ready to share and let go of at a soft tissue and energetic level. Each person and each session is different, sometimes showing up as pain, limited range of motion, dysfunctional movement patterns, muscular imbalances, feeling stagnant, or feeling stressed and burnt out. Each session is an offering to use the body to heal the body -- to release stored stress in the nervous system, to ease pain and discomfort, to feel more harmonious and connected with our deepest self. 

My favorite modalities to utilize are myofascial, deep tissue, swedish, craniosacral, acupressure, energy kinesiology and reiki. I will sometimes incorporate cupping, gua sha or a new technique I have learned. I am a life-long learner and knowledge-seeker so you might hear me sharing about something new I am studying. I continually strive to be of better service to my clients, my family, myself and humanity as a whole. 

Outside of the treatment room you will find me on a yoga mat, a two-wheeled object, or a trail.  In the kitchen cooking delicious, healthy food for my family. Googling random things I'm curious about. Diving deep into a subject of health, healing or parenting. Planning the next adventure with my family. Or having a living room dance party with my two beautiful children and husband. 

Education: Oregon State University (graduated 2008), Oregon School of Massage (graduated 2014), continuing education studying myofascial deep tissue, cupping, gua sha, craniosacral therapy, Reiki (Master level 2022), Touch for Health, and endless self-study.
