Massage begins with listening.

I believe good massage therapy is built upon the ability to use the hands to listen. The foundation of my work is primarily Deep Tissue Swedish Massage supplemented by Trigger Point Therapy. I move slowly and methodically through the body to find patterns of tension, then listen to the body to determine the right pressure and pace to allow the body to find release.

A little about me.

I came to massage through an interest in physical therapy and sports medicine. While studying biology at the University of Washington, I attended the Brenneke School of Massage and obtained my massage license in 2004.

Training that informs my work

While the foundation of my style is rooted in Deep Tissue Swedish Massage, my studies in trigger point therapy, sports massage, and myofascial release inform how I approach releasing tension. I also draw upon my experience with Trager, Reiki, and Wat Po Thai to customize my massage for each moment, with pressure and pacing that feel right for you.

Beyond the massage table

Stretching and muscle maintenance, massage classes for couples, guided meditation, and retreats. In-person and Zoom options are available by arrangement.
