About Me

My journey into the healing arts began with classical Yoga and meditation, and these remain a strong influence in my bodywork practice.  In a session, I typically blend both Western and Eastern massage modalities; incorporating the holistic approach of Shiatsu with the specificity of Deep Tissue techniques, and including passive joint movement, rhythmic pressure, gentle stretching, and energy work.  One of my specialties is Thai Yoga Massage; a moving meditation practice which has its roots in the Buddhist monasteries of Thailand.  I strive to carry this tradition of meditative massage into every session, with the intention of encouraging the nervous system to release its fight or flight reflexes and inspire a state of serenity, in which your body will allow its constricted areas to be softened with ease. The beneficial effects of your massage can be prolonged with my recommendations for self-care, often involving customized stretches for postural alignment and support.
