First and foremost, I offer my presence. Regardless of how we engage with each other, I bring my presence, my truth, and my authenticity.
That, alone, makes a difference.

It is my belief that the essential elements of health and well-being are:
​
Loving, compassionate touch can come from our intimate partner, but we need it in our lives more than that. We've become a society scared to touch each other.
Massage can be a safe way to experience compassionate touch.
In our sessions, I bring my joy and the gift of being an experience of presence in someone's day. I give the body an experience of compassionate touch, the mind an experience of quiet, and the soul an experience of being seen.
I invite you to access deep restfulness and transformation.

Intuitive Massage
Massage creates space and allows your body to find a new way of being. It gives your physical and energetic bodies the experience of restfulness, allowing you to recharge and experience life anew. Massage can invite us to be curious about what our body has to say - what experiences and unexpressed emotions are stored in our tissues. Once we create space in our tissue and awaken to our body, we can access new parts of ourselves and make changes in our lives. Massage supports all changes we are making in life. It supports the healthy flow of our physical and energetic selves. It supports slowing down and allowing life to come to you.
​
Intuitive massage allows for the session to follow your body's guidance to where energy is stuck and how it can be freed to flow more easily, bringing space and release. I am not working to accomplish something, I do not fix you or heal you; I bring my presence and awareness to you and your body to invite change and to support the flow that wants to be restored. I can and will share what I am experiencing, if desired, or I will be quiet and allow the energy to simply move. I believe in your body's wisdom, and I believe in the power of presence to support us all in being our highest expressions of Self. This is what I bring to our sessions.

Over the years, I have trained in Integrative Reflexology®, Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Shamanic Energy Work, and Lymphatic Massage, which are woven into my sessions as needed. I have experienced deep personal growth and healing through Family Constellations, Astrology, Human Design, and German New Medicine, modalities that also inform my interactions with clients and the guidance that comes through during my sessions. Most recently, I have completed training in Touch for Health levels 1-4. I am fascinated by how muscle testing can be used as a feedback mechanism to allow our body’s innate wisdom to guide us to optimal wellness. I deepening my exploration into this modality by training in Professional Kinesiology Practice (PKP).
Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage
During pregnancy and postpartum, woman's body is experiencing its most dramatic changes. If there is any time in life when massage is most therapeutic and beneficial for a woman, it is during this time. The positive flow of energy allows the mother to rest, the physical touch creates space in her body to support her changing body and the growing baby, the quiet presence allows her to slow down and bring her own presence to this precious time in life. This is also a beautiful experience for baby, who is receiving the loving presence and touch, through mama's body.
​
In my ideal world, all mothers receive massage during pregnancy and postpartum, and all babies are welcomed into this world with loving presence and compassionate touch.
