Bodywork
As a bodyworker/massage therapist, I offer deep and intuitive touch that invites healing, flow, ease, and in many cases profound life transformation. I orient towards bodywork as a journey, ceremony, and dance, and see each person as inherently whole and ‘holy’.
I experience the body as a map of sorts, revealing each person’s storied life through muscle, tissue, fascia, energetic and breath patterns. Each session is an opportunity to notice and inquire into those patterns. Through touch and breath we begin to unwind, re-write, and release somatic and energetic blocks to create more freedom and coherence physically, mentally and spiritually.
I work with the modalities of Swedish and Deep tissue massage, vibrational healing, reiki and peri-natal massage, and I’m informed by my 20+ years of somatic studies and practices including modern and contemporary dance, yoga, body-mind centering, Feldernkrais, contact improv, endurance sports, and applied anatomy.
I graduated from San Francisco Center from Vibrational Healing and Massage in 2004, and completed trainings in peri-natal massage from SF School of Massage in 2005. I have trained and taught counseling through Re-Evaluation Counseling and Interchange Counseling Institute, and completed Strozzi Embodied Transformation and bodywork courses. I currently Mentee under Master Bodyworker/Somatic Agent, Fred Mitouer.
My lifelong devotion to honoring embodiment and somatic intelligence guides my work with clients. Together each co-created session unfolds into the revelation of greater ease, alignment and energy flow in the body-mind and beyond.

1.5 hr or 2 hr bodywork sessions
These sessions take place in a residential healing arts room. You will share briefly what your body and heart are desiring for our time together and then the majority of our time will be spent you receiving healing touch. I create a quiet and spacious environment that fosters introspection and relaxation.

These 3-4 hours ritual sessions combine meditation, somatic counseling, bodywork, journaling and custom designed aromatherapy and herbal elixirs to support you,(or you and a friend/partner) to deepen and nourish into alignment, aliveness and presence as you make you way through a threshold moment in your life.
