I specialize in working with the body and mind in ways that lead to increasing ease, unwinding and a return to the simple and natural.
I help clients reach a place of deep restorative relaxation (wuji) in which their body softens, mental activities spin down and their innate powers of healing can better flow (ziran). This encourages the natural systems that restore circulation and balance to do so spontaneously.
In this more open, restful space, long-held patterns of tension can surface and more easily unwind. I generally use light to medium pressure, working intuitively in service of a return to more natural balance and function.
I am a graduate of the Seattle Clinical Massage School under Said Yaaqoubi LMT, MLT/CPT.
I first discovered my love for healing modalities and working with the body when I was young. When I was a small child my father began letting me massage and walk on his back when he would get home from work.
Over time I began to discover that I seemed to have a natural intuition for identifying and working with the tension in people’s bodies.
I kept growing more fascinated and continued to explore, seek out and learn different modalities. This path has taken me into Chinese medicine, Craniosacral Therapy and Neigong energy work as well as into Clinical and Osteopathic techniques.
