I offer caring, precise, collaborative bodywork grounded in respect for the body’s capacity to integrate experience, reorganize, and heal.

I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2008. Over time, my practice has grown toward increasingly precise, listening-based bodywork. Today, my work explores how skillful manual therapy can support the body's natural capacity to reorganize and express health. With attuned listening, I use the therapeutic tools most appropriate for what your body is presenting during the session.

I am a Certified Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Therapy Practitioner and have completed advanced training in Maya Abdominal Therapy for fertility, preconception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. My studies in this lineage included travel to Belize and elsewhere to study with Rosita Arvigo, and gave me important tools for supporting reproductive, digestive, and pelvic health.

I am also a Certified Craniosacral Therapist, having completed my training through Crafted Touch with Lauren Christman and the Therapeutic Training Center. My training integrates both biodynamic and biomechanical approaches to craniosacral therapy and includes advanced techniques for working with the organs, cranial nerves, and the brain. These advanced techniques allow me to work with greater precision and specificity, expanding and deepening the care I can offer.

Intraoral Massage

I hold a Washington State intraoral massage endorsement. This allows me to perform specialized work inside the mouth as part of massage therapy treatment.

Intraoral work can be helpful for TMJ dysfunction, jaw tension, headaches, migraines, facial tension, sinus and ear drainage concerns, breathing restrictions related to facial and jaw tension, and other patterns involving the jaw, head, face, neck, and cranial base.

This work is always done with clear consent, gloves, attention to hygiene and safety, and respect for your comfort and pacing.
