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 Philosophy
Every person that steps into my treatment space is treated with UPR (Unconditional Positive Regard). It is the foundation of my profession. This describes accepting someone for who they are, right there in the moment. I work within my scope of practice under a code of ethics. My clients can be assured of confidentiality. Treatments are client centered and given with informed consent. Each treatment is customized to the client. I honor the client therapist relationship. Communication is key with massage.
I see massage as a work of service. Touch is one of the most basic human needs. I feel honored to be a massage therapist.
"We serve life, not because it is broken, but because it is holy."
