Massage for Every Body
A compassionate, trauma-informed, and queer-affirming, approach to massage
My eclectic background is invaluable to how I approach my therapeutic process. As a dancer, I've learned to connect with my body, attune with others, and express my inner world. With a bachelor's degree focused on Tibetan Buddhism, I embody compassion and the middle way. In my career as a performer and puppeteer, I've fostered play, freedom, and persistence.
My journey with massage therapy began at the American Institute of Alternative Medicine in 2016, following a career as a dancer and puppeteer in Orlando, FL. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Dance from Agnes Scott College, where massage was an invaluable element of caring for myself. Seeking a deeper understanding of human behavior, I furthered my education at Case Western Reserve University, obtaining my Master of Science in Social Work. Alongside my career as a massage therapist, I work as a psychotherapist, primarily working with the LGBTQ+ community. Combining my skills in movement, touch therapy, and social work, I am deeply committed to nurturing our minds and bodies.
