About Me

Massage Therapist & Creator of the Fascia Consciousness Method - Durham, NC

My Story

I'm a native of Hillsborough and mom of two. Before becoming a Massage Therapist, I worked in medical research for both humans and animals. That experience gave me a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology and sharpened my observational skills in ways that continue to shape my work today.

During that time, I was introduced to holistic approaches including chiropractic care, acupuncture, and herbal medicine. I became increasingly curious about how the body adapts, compensates and remembers.

My clinical training includes deep tissue and myofascial techniques, and over the years I developed a strong sensitivity to patterns in the shoulders, hips, and areas of chronic tension. But I began noticing something beyond technique- a consistent shift that occurred when the nervous system felt supported and safe.

That recognition became the foundation of what I now call the Fascia Consciousness Method.

This approach centers on containment, orientation, and regulation. Rather than working toward a predetermined outcome, i work responsively with the body's pacing and cues, allowing change to unfold from within.

I am a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist( LMBT) and the creator of the Fascia Consciousness Method.

My Approach

My approach is grounded in the Fascia Consciousness Method.

Rather than beginning with analysis or correction, this work begins with containment and orientation- helping your system feel supported, safe, and aware of where it is before anything shifts.

From there, I work through slow, responsive touch that follows what your body is ready to receive and integrate.

The pace is unhurried. Pressure and technique are not predetermined, but guided by what your system communicates in the moment.

This is not about fixing the body, it is about meeting it- and allowing it to reorganize from within.

My Philosophy

Every person who enters this space is met with respect, presence and care.

This work is grounded in the understanding that the body is not a problem to solve, but a place to return to.

I don't see healing as analysis or correction- I see it as being met.

When the body is met in safety, it remembers how to regulate.

This space is client-centered, grounded in consent, and guided by what your system is ready to experience.

Communication is always welcome, but you are never required to explain or perform.

This is a space where the body doesn't need to defend itself.
