“I love offering sessions that combine sensitivity and strength to support deep relaxation of the nervous system and allow for deeply held tensions in one's body and mind to release. The sessions I offer are often a blend of flowing massage to support relaxation, combined with deep tissue to ease restrictions. I also incorporate the occasional Thai massage stretch to help open up the joints and promote more energy flow throughout the body. On occasion I also bring in the subtle art of acupressure for emotional balancing if this is wished for."

“My foundation in the healing arts started as a child with my mother, a Japanese moxibustion massage practitioner. I saw so many miracles of healing during her sessions. I lived in Hawaii for 16 years studying Hawaiian healing, including Lomi Lomi, dance and chanting with various Kumus (teachers). I bring this body and energy knowledge to the massage table.”

I love helping people be able to feel and move better! I often tell my clients I know how to speak “musclese”.

I’m also good at smoothing and calming the tension between you and your body, including knowing how to put knotty muscles back in their place. Helping people gain mobility and feel more in tune and at peace with their bodies is always my goal!

"The body is truly fascinating. Massage is one of the many modalities that reveals the language of the body. I find that understanding the body's language provides me with a clear understanding of how to best assist each client. I've noticed that when I listen and follow the energetic flow of a body, it brings a client into a deeper state of relaxation because the body intuitively feels loved, listened to, and safe."
