First and Foremost, I am a lifelong student.

I am fascinated by the elegant and complex function of the human body. I constantly seek to delve further into the vast world of bodywork. By continuing to learn new styles and techniques my massages are unique and ever evolving. I enjoy providing bodywork as well as education for my clients. I place strong emphasis on empowering people to care for their own health and well being. 

My studies have taken me around the world and back. I completed a 2 year massage program at Rogue in Southern Oregon before continuing my studies in the village of Saraphi, Northern Thailand under Traditional Medicine Doctor Homprang Chaleekanha, M.S.

I have studied:

• Swedish
• Deep Tissue
• Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy
• Integrated Studies
• Shiatsu
• Jin Shin Do
• Traditional Thai Massage (Thai Yoga Massage)
  
• Therapeutic Thai Acupressure
• Thai Abdominal Massage
• Thai Womblifting - A treatment to correct issues related to Uterine Displacement
• Thai Herbal Compress Therapy

I have completed over 1,000 hours of massage training and I am a Certified Massage Therapist in the state of California as well as by the Ministry of Education in Thailand.

Apart from my studies of massage I love the great outdoors whether it be hiking, backpacking trips, star gazing, cycling, or growing food. I enjoy music, dance, travel, adventure and meeting new people from all across the globe. Before moving to the City of Oakland, I spent several years working on organic farms and with non-profits that support sustainable agriculture, local business & preservation of our natural world.
