My passion for massage therapy started while I was a doula, I wanted a way to further support women before, during, and after birth. Wanting to learn more, I took an Integrated Swedish Massage class at Twin Lakes College of the Healing Arts. After a few weeks, I was amazed by how natural body work came to me, and by the end of the class I was signing up for the entire 500 hour program to become a massage therapist—it was clear to me that this was my calling.  After completing my 500-hour training, I worked happily as a private massage therapist for several years. In need of credentials to open my own business, I enrolled at Cypress Health Institute and completed my 550-hour Massage Therapy training Program.  Although the pursuit to becoming a board-certified massage therapist was challenging, I am grateful for what my journey has given me. The extensive learning, hands on training, and multitude of educators has helped shape me into the therapist I am today! As a massage therapist I am dedicated to facilitating the improvement of muscle function, while also holding space for emotional wellbeing; that is what is needed to heal the body as a whole. To better serve you on your wellness journey, my massages are custom to the individual, a space created specifically for you.  A little about me.. I grew up here in Santa Cruz County.  My high school sweetheart and I have three little humans and 4 fur babies. We love being in nature together, especially for hikes in Nisene Marks and walks on the beach to search for shells.  If you are looking for a therapeutic experience with an individual and holistic approach, please schedule here. I look forward to working with you!
