My Background
My Mission & Intention
My Training & My Work
I spent my young life working in the service industry and serving in the US Army National Guard, while studying biology and psychology in college, receiving a degree in Health Science.
When I was 23 years old, I suffered from an undiagnosable autoimmune condition. I had been chronically disconnected/dissociated from my body and this painful condition was a call back into my body, into presence. This condition marked the beginning of my healing journey, 10 years ago, of learning to understand the language of my body (sensation) and how it relates to my mind and my environment.
During that time, I remembered my passion for yoga and through consistent implementation of a combination of new and better feeling practices, I experienced lasting healing in my body/mind/spirit connection. In addition to supporting myself with food and movement as medicine, I cleaned up my relationships and practiced healthy boundaries. I learned to respect pain and sensation as valuable information, trusting myself/my body and responding with loving action.
I became increasingly interested in holistic preventative care, and found my calling in massage therapy in 2018, then, in 2019 I answered another calling to learn Reiki. This gave me the opportunity to care for others more holistically, encompassing all dimensions of the human experience (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic), supporting others in experiencing their own lasting healing through reconnecting with themselves and their wholeness.
My Training & My Work
My Mission & Intention
My Training & My Work
I graduated from Cortiva Institute and started my career in massage therapy in 2018. I became Reiki certified in 2019. Since that time, my work has been focused on assisting my clients with releasing chronic pain patterns with a trauma informed massage approach, offering a combination of Somatic Mindfulness, Presencing, deep tissue, and myofascial techniques.
I continue to expand my knowledge and skills with continuing education and relevant reading material on somatic healing and the body/mind connection.
In session together, we create the space for nervous system regulation and reconnection. This is your time to regulate and reconnect. Bring a willingness to explore and to heal, to get the most from this experience of working together. Although I utilize many different techniques, my main offering in a session is listening and being present as a loving witness in support of you and your wholeness.
The following techniques may be utilized in session, including but not limited to; deep tissue, myofascial, cupping, Somatic Mindfulness, Presencing, gentle movement, stretching, breathwork, reiki, and craniosacral work.
Clients can always choose to be fully or partially clothed for any session (knowing secure draping is ensured if you do choose to disrobe). Sessions can involve more or less traditional massage techniques, more or less energy work, etc. as established together at check in before the session, and in the moment throughout the session. Each session is completely unique and personalized depending on your needs and preferences.
My Mission & Intention
My Mission & Intention
My Mission & Intention
To share presence with my clients and to support their connection with their own multi-dimensionally empowered and embodied presence!
Presence is where we can access the deepest healing that is already and always here, Now.
When we engage together in conscious awareness of feeling and noticing sensation with loving awareness, we can illuminate a previously unreachable and unconscious pain cycle. Healing is multi-dimensional and something that is greatly enhanced by the shared presence between two (or more) people. It is in this light of conscious, curious, loving awareness where positive change and transformation take place.
It is my greatest honor and joy to support you in your process of self-exploration and reconnection.
