Meet the Team


  • Owner, Licensed Massage Therapist

    I graduated from Center for Natural Wellness in 2018 and have since practiced full-time as a Licensed Massage Therapist in spa and clinical settings. I’m endlessly fascinated by bodies and I care deeply for the beings inside them, so I study often and listen well. My work is attuned, thorough, and informed by both the latest research and your unique experience of being in a body.

    I’m proficient in several areas of massage and bodywork, including Swedish and deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, cupping, orthopedic massage, and oncology massage. I’ve focused much of my continued training on chronic pain and injury conditions, and trauma-informed care. If you don’t know what any of that means for massage, that’s okay! I’ll bring what I know about the body, you bring what you know about your body, and we’ll go from there! What’s important to know about me is that, whether your goal is to relax or address a specific problem (or both!), I have the practical skills to help, the clinical prudence necessary to do that safely, and I genuinely care.

  • Licensed Massage Therapist

    Since graduating from Center for Natural Wellness in 2018, I have focused on a trauma-informed and therapeutic approach to massage. I tailor each session to your needs utilizing techniques including Swedish and sports massage, myofascial release, Shiatsu, and trigger point therapy. I am also trained as a Reiki practitioner, and combine an intuitive approach with a thorough understanding of the ways that the mind-body interrelates. When not guiding others into a deeper relationship with their bodies, you’ll find me in nature, crafting artwork, and going on adventures with my children.

POLICIES

CANCELLATION

A 24-hour notice is required for cancellations. We understand that life has a way of upending plans and do our best to be understanding and flexible. Repeat offenders will be charged in full for the appointment at our discretion. Payment is due before your next appointment.

NO-SHOWS

If you fail to arrive for a scheduled appointment and did not cancel or reschedule in advance, you will be considered a "no-show." In the event of a "no-show," you will be charged in full and must pay before your next appointment. Clients that incur three "no-shows" will not be permitted to rebook.

lateness

Appointment times are as scheduled and cannot always be extended beyond the stated time to accommodate late arrivals. Please be on time to your appointment. If you are late, you are responsible for paying the full amount of your scheduled session and will receive the remainder of your scheduled time.

Sickness

Massage/bodywork is not appropriate care for infectious or contagious illness. Please cancel your appointment as soon as you are aware of a possible infectious or contagious condition. There are no fees for cancellations due to illness.

illness prevention

We are fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19, and continue to use increased surface sanitation protocols out of consideration for those who are at higher risk of severe disease. Masks are available on site and we’re happy to wear one upon request. We do not ask that you wear a mask, but do ask that you cancel/reschedule your appointment immediately if you are not feeling well or have reason to believe that you were exposed to someone with a contagious condition.
