The body is a map of lived experiences

I am a compassionate and dedicated trauma-informed therapist specializing in a unique approach to healing. With over 30 years of experience in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas I have relocated back home the Des Moines area. I have a profound understanding of the intricate connection between mind and body, I work at the speed of the nervous system, creating a safe and supportive space for my clients on their journey to recovery.

Drawing from a diverse toolkit that includes deep tissue massage, myofascial release (MFR), Swedish massage, and energy balancing techniques, I tailor each session to meet the specific needs of the individual. This integrative approach not only addresses physical tension but also considers the emotional and energetic aspects of trauma or daily stress.

Recognizing the importance of time and space in the healing process, I recommend 90-minute sessions this extended duration ensures a comprehensive and effective treatment, allowing clients to experience a profound sense of release and relaxation.

With me, you can expect a holistic and client-centered approach that goes beyond the surface, delving deep into the layers of both physical and emotional tension.
