Thank You for visiting my page. Are you in pain, have knots, tight muscles, recovering from injury, a trauma, or are you looking for energy work? You've come to the right place. 

I specialize in a Signature Comprehensive full body massage to reduce pain, increase mobility, and release traumas to bring the body, mind and spirit back to homeostasis. My customized massages begin with a check-in of your body through Intuitive Empathic scanning, Reiki with medium pressure, light compression and Myofascial work. After I assess your body I move to a rhythmic a Swedish/Lomi Lomi style, relaxing your body and preparing you for deeper work. Then I systematically and intuitively work deeper into the areas of need. Here I customize for you, techniques to release areas of hypertonicity, adhesions and trigger points, or direct healing energy to injured areas. I may utilize Intuitive Touch, Trigger Point therapy, Neuromuscular Release Techniques, Polarity Healing, Acupressure, Ortho-Bionomy, Transformation Reiki, Sports Massage, Pranayama/Breathwork and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. At times my Signature Massage is intense during the deep pressure work when adhesions (knots) release. So if you are looking for a massage that is simply a relaxing Swedish or Lomi Lomi style with lighter pressure you can book one of those sessions with me as well. My areas of expertise include, Yoga Based Postural Alignment Instuction, Energy-work, Shoulder/Scapular Muscles, Neck, Forearms/Hands, Hips/Pelvis, Sciatic Nerve Release, Psoas release and Thighs.  

Rest assured you are in good hands and elbows, intention, and energy. Massage stated for me as a young age. I started Competitive Swimming in the 5th grade, where massage became a part of my life and continued through college. We often traded massages with each other at practices and at meets, and received many from our sports trainers, well into college. In my adulthood, I continued to receive bodywork and physical therapy for my own many physical issues over the years. All the while learning what styles and techniques I enjoyed receiving, and what worked on my problem areas. In 2005, I became certified in Traditional Usui Shiki Rhoyo Reiki and began providing intuitive massage incorporating energy-work based on my personal experiences.  A few years later, my path lead me to yoga and later in 2016, I received my teaching certificate in Alignment Based Hatha Yoga. Eventually in 2019, I left the corporate world to pursue my passion fulltime by helping others with body and energy-work. I received my State of California Certificate for Massage in 2021. After in 2023, received my Advanced Practitioner and Master Teacher Certification in Usui Holy Fire Reiki. And, my pursuit for knowledge continues, I am currently enrolled in more Ortho-Bionomy. Also, studying various yoga and meditation styles as well as planning future other Reiki trainings. 

My sessions also include the following at no extra charge: flannel sheets, heated table, organic unscented oil or lotion, heated massage studio, and postural alignment coaching based on alignment yoga techniques. At Nob Hill In-Home Studio: Aromatherapy on request, and under table large Healing Crystals.
