About me

My Philosophy
As a yoga teacher, massage therapist, and doula- providing a safe environment where people feel heard and supported is the most important thing I do. Healing happens when people can let their guard down. Trust and transparency does wonders for a therapeutic relationship.
I have a thirst for knowledge and I am in a constant process of learning and unlearning in both the massage and yoga world. I have received training in Hatha yoga, Vinyasa yoga, Restorative yoga, Chair yoga, Pranayama, Pre-natal/Post-natal and Yin yoga. My teachers include Noah Maze, Rocky Heron, Tiffany Cruickshank, Paul Grilley, Prasad Rangnekar, and others.
My massage education has led me to deeper study in pain science, Poly-vagul theory, Somatics, Diversity and Inclusion training, Ayurveda, Trigger-point therapy, Myo-fascial Release, Accupressure, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reiki, Pre-natal and Post-natal massage. My style as a massage therapist is heavily influenced by what I have discovered.
