I am a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) practicing near downtown Santa Rosa, CA. A 2001 graduate of the National Holistic Institute, I am also certified in Sports Massage, trained in Theragun (percussion) massage, and a member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. 

At the core of my massage practice is the belief that when the body is relaxed, it has the ability to find balance and self-healing. I am here to help you find and keep that balance, wherever you are on your path into wellbeing. I provide an intuitive style of therapeutic massage, using techniques from Shiatzu, Swedish, Tui Na, soft tissue release, and deep tissue modalities. Every session is centered around your needs in that moment, from stress reduction to pain relief to support for your sports activities.

I came to massage through the experience of chronic pain, more than 20 years ago. Massage provided what doctors, shots and pills had not: the release and relaxation my body needed to begin to heal itself. This shift in my health inspired me to help others as I was helped. Along with my Santa Rosa massage practice, I have provided volunteer Sports Massage to participants in the San Francisco Marathon and Tamalpa Headlands (Marin County) 50K.

In addition to being a Certified Massage Therapist, I am attuned to Reiki Level 1. I also practice Qi Gong, spend time with family, my dogs and outdoors biking and kayaking, to support my own wellbeing.

My motto: RELAX AND LIVE!
