So you understand more about me and my expertise, I would like to share my education and training. I have a bachelor’s degree in child and adolescent development and a master’s degree in education with the Critical Research Academy. These programs informed and solidified my strong beliefs that inclusivity matters. It also means I am comfortable working with children and teenagers and pregnant women.

I received my massage education at De Anza College, and have been trained in the following techniques:  neuromuscular therapy, basic lymph drainage therapy, myofascial release, table Shiatsu, trigger point,  sports, and Swedish massage. 

I am also a Reiki Master and Teacher, and trained in Moto-ki (martial arts/earth based energy healing techniques), and energy sensing techniques. As a Tarot card reader, I use these energy skills in my readings. I believe in the union between modern medical advances and energy healing.  

I believe that therapies should be applied with presence, kindness, and sensitivity to both the nervous system and the person in front of me.  As a massage therapist I have worked with people experiencing post-stroke symptoms, migraine, stress, body dysmorphia, body dysphoria, heartache, grief, and other discomforts. As an energy healer I have done the above as well as worked on expectant mothers, fetuses, babies, children, and adolescents. As a Tarot reader I have done the above and also helped people receive messages from the Divine and answer questions most salient to them. I often blend these modalities together when appropriate.
