With 14 years of experience as a massage therapist, I specialize in therapeutic bodywork that honors the mind-body connection. My approach blends deep tissue techniques with flowing, intentional touch to release stubborn adhesions and chronic holding patterns.

Through skilled palpation, therapeutic pressure, and moments of stillness, I create space for your body to relax, let go, and reconnect with itself. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from injury or carrying stress; my sessions offer a safe grounding experience where therapeutic work and deep relaxation meet.
