From the deserts to the ocean, the Pacific Northwest affords myriad opportunities to choose wholesome lifestyles. As such, I have practiced massage therapy for 30 years, as it remains a natural fit for my values and disposition.

I assist in alleviating pain with hands-on therapies to activate inherent healing properties in others. These range from wellness massage using Swedish style techniques, to deep tissue, muscle sculpting and rehabilitative therapies for injuries. I am fortunate to have given women pre and postnatal massages since the 90’s.

Names and styles of energy work vary across time and continents. My approach centers on mindfulness or Vipassana, an ancient meditation technique. By observing thoughts and physical sensations, practitioners can grow calm then allow another’s unspoken needs to receive nurturance. I enjoy using heated salt stones to sooth and quiet the nervous system thus enabling a healing process to express.

Sports massage is another favorite. I find athletes of all levels to be pursuant of emerging modalities and impressively knowledgeable. They have a pleasant demeanor with focused attention on their bodies where they request calming massage to deep problem solving for optimal performance.

I look forward to serving the Root community where we offer wellness in all forms.
