In my work, I draw from a diverse range of modalities, including Swedish massage, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Thai massage, and Myofascial Therapy. My offerings are especially beneficial for those seeking rest, relaxation, stress relief, and nervous system care.
​
In addition to massage, I also offer Energetic Resolution sessions. These sessions help you find your ground, reconnect with your energy body, and increase your awareness of the role energy plays in your health. My approach to this work differs from the usual forms of energy work in the way that I am not attempting to manipulate or change your energetic field, I am only witnessing and listening to it so it can guide me in how to best support you.
​
My practice is rooted in themes of self-sovereignty, freedom, love, tenderness, kindness, compassion, and the transmutation of shame. I strive to create an inclusive and non-dual space for my clients, and to foster an environment where they feel safe to explore and embrace all aspects of themselves.
​
Through various teachings and experiences, I have developed a profound belief in the interconnectedness of physical pain with emotional and energetic states. Embracing a holistic approach to health, I advocate for self-intuited healing, recognizing each individual's innate capacity for accessing deeper wisdom. My role is not that of a healer, but rather a facilitator and companion on your journey toward self-awareness and inner resonance.
​
Choosing to prioritize one's well-being is not always easy or straightforward. There is a tendency in our culture to put off caring for ourselves until we are in crisis or severe pain. I encourage you to consider that you deserve to be seen, heard, supported, and cared for at all times and in all ways. I am committed to supporting you on your path of healing and self-discovery.
