It is an honor to be a trusted partner in the body’s healing process. My interest in bodywork is closely tied to my passion for movement, and my own experiences with chronic pain, hypermobility and sports injuries. I am called to massage therapy because I believe that all people can experience the joy of feeling integrated and at home in the body. I specialize in chronic pain and injury rehab, direct myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques and deep tissue work.
My experience as an athlete and personal trainer provide an important foundation in anatomy, physiology and kinesiology, and my background in education is reflected in my curious and collaborative approach. I bring a blend of intuitive touch and research-based techniques, to listen and allow the client’s body to direct the work.
I believe in the transformational power of the therapeutic relationship as a safe container for you to bring your whole physical and emotional self and be received with compassion. I invite all bodies, genders, and identities to join me in co-creating treatment that feels empowering and authentic to your experience.
Offerings
Guided by evidence-based techniques and an intuitive understanding of the human body, I welcome clients to join me in a collaborative process, drawing upon a range of modalities to curate an experience that is specific to each client and what their body needs to feel well. My work is rooted in somatic healing, trauma-informed care, queer and trans affirming practice, and body neutral language.

Pricing
I offer a sliding scale in my practice to increase accessibility
Sliding Scale Rates
60-Minute Massage ~ $80 - 130
90-Minute Massage ~ $130 - 180
120-Minute Massage ~ $190 - 250
If you’re unsure where you fall on the scale, ask yourself:
Can I easily cover basic needs, and would the cost of a massage be a minor expense? If so, pick the higher end.
Do you need to budget for bodywork or struggle to meet basic needs? Pick the lower end.
I’ll never ask for proof of hardship—I trust you to choose what fits your finances.
I also accept trades of equal value; contact me by email or Instagram to inquire.
