I'm a licensed massage therapist practicing Structural Integration and somatic bodywork. Integrating heart and science into every session, I believe that bodywork, often pursued in relief of pain, can also improve our relationship with our bodies and deepen our experience in the world around us. I bring an awareness of the educational, experiential process of receiving bodywork, making lasting change through awareness and embodiment, in addition to very effective technique. Originally from New York, I trained at The Swedish Institute in New York City (a 1226-hour program) and at IPSB in San Diego.

Specializing in muscle release and alignment, pain management, stretching utilizing passive and active range of motion facilitation. By active stretching I help my clients soften their muscular fascia restoring flexibility. I also use deep tissue therapy and myoskeletal therapy in some cases to release scar tissue in surrounding joints and areas difficult to release with common stretching. These techniques help realign muscle fibers for better mobility. Continuous treatment prevents muscle pain and restriction to re-appear.
