Often we find our bodies out of alignment from a number of different factors: physical activities, injuries, and how we handle (or don’t handle) stress. My goal is to help you rediscover a sense of balance through massage and other bodywork customized to meet your particular needs. I combine therapeutic modalities (Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, etc.) that assist in allowing your body to regenerate and heal naturally.

Yoga serves as the perfect complement to therapeutic bodywork. It allows us to become more aware of the ways in which we hold and move our bodies. During your session, I will often suggest stretches and breathing techniques inspired by my own Hatha Yoga practice. The yoga classes I teach are challenging, fun, and dedicated to enlivening the spirit of self expression and conscious living.
