After experiencing the many benefits of manual therapy myself, I decided to pursue massage as a way to help others in their journey to wellness.

Knowing that physical, mental and emotional well-being are all connected, I’ll start our session with a thorough discussion of where you’re at and what you’d like to get from treatment. Whether it is full body relaxation, or help with a specific issue or injury, we will work together to tailor a massage that is suited to your needs, in a space where you feel safe, heard and cared for.

Treatment will be slow and intentional, always aiming to bring awareness and to develop an understanding of your body’s needs. This way, we can modify treatment as you progress, and build helpful tools that you can use at home to improve and maintain your well-being in between sessions.
