Welcome!

**Disease mitigation update 2025. Upon request I will wear a KN-95 mask for sessions and client masking is optional. I will continue to run a true hepa air-filter in the massage space at all times.**

"I like to think of my continuing education classes as adding new tools to my tool belt so I can tailor each massage to best serve my clients' needs and preferences. I'm so excited to offer Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy to all my clients seeking Deep Tissue work!"

"I love massage because it enables the client to be a participant in their own healing and wellness by creating a finer tuned body awareness. I really appreciate a client who is ready to take responsibility for their health and incorporate healthy practices in their daily lives."

"When I am not giving massage or taking care of my 2 children and dog, I can be found rock climbing, hiking, swimming, reading, gardening, fermenting or obsessing about the latest natural minimalist footwear."

"I look forward to helping my new clients begin a conversation with their bodies that will lead to better function and vitality in their lives. My healing and wellness philosophy embraces an Holistic approach which includes bodywork, wholesome diet, exercise, good footwear choices and postural maintenance. I am grateful for the opportunity to help clients on their journey to inhabiting a healthier, vibrant and more functional body. My bodywork sessions incorporate deep tissue/trigger point therapy, relaxation, hot towels and sometimes hot stones, cupping or aromatherapy to enhance the session."
