I completed the clinical massage program at the Soma Institute in 2013. Since obtaining my massage therapy license, I have worked in a variety of clinical and spa settings. For the past four years, I have offered mobile massage services throughout the Chicago area and have recently began working out of my treatment space in Roscoe Village. I have a passion for learning and have worked to continuously expand my skill set and the modalities I offer in my practice. I have completed continuing education in pre and postnatal massage and am a certified Zen Shiatsu practitioner and Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist (Vodder technique). After completing a Bachelor of Arts in dance from Northwestern University, I spent several years performing and teaching. As a dancer, I experienced firsthand how massage therapy can help with recovery from injury and serve as a complement to athletic training. In addition, I have been struck by how bodywork techniques not only help with physical pain and discomfort, but also contribute to an overall sense of well-being, providing the receiver physical, emotional, and psychological benefits. I still love dancing as much as possible and can often be found on a beach near Chicago’s lakefront or tending to my vegetable garden.
