Therapeutic Bodywork
I use a variety of techniques on a case by case basis depending on your individual needs.
No two sessions are the same.
​
If you are looking for targeted work then often times an integrative session where we are working together, using various neuro-muscular, activation release techniques, and cupping therapy is my approach.
If you are simply needing to unwind and feel restored, I work in silence and target deep relaxation.
Fascia work with moving cups and neck traction take all of these sessions to the next level.
​
I am not a "no pain, no gain" therapist.
If you need to feel pain in order to relax, I am not the therapist for you.
I use cups and various other techniques to go deep while applying firm, confident pressure.

Cupping Therapy
I am a proud member of the International Cupping Therapy Association and have been trained in a variety of cupping modalities including massage cupping, facial rejuvenation cupping, cupping for cellulite, dynamic cupping, stationary cupping, sports cupping, biomagnetic blanket for the back as well as other targeted areas of the body. When it comes to manual lymphatic drainage and myofascial release, it's my modality of choice.
Cupping uses negative pressure by creating suction to lift the tissue, drawing stagnant blood and lymph to the surface to be flushed out by the lymphatic and circulatory systems while simultaneously encouraging fresh blood, lymph and chi to take its place. Rather than using compression, like in massage, the negative pressure creates space by lifting tissue, un-sticking gluey adhesions, drawing out stagnancy and inviting in fresh nutrient-rich blood to the cells. The stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) is profound and I find that the effects from this bodywork lasts longer than massage therapy by itself.
The dynamic duo of both is amazing.

Re-program your Body-Mind
At the heart of great health and vitality is a regulated, harmonic, coherent state of Being. Working with the dynamic between the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight/freeze) and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/digest) is foundational in our sessions. When this balance is disrupted and out of sync, our body responds with pain, tension, and symptoms of dis-ease. My work is dedicated to restoring this harmony—guiding your body back into a balanced and coherent state so that it can do its job - regulate, repair, and replenish itself.
Compression techniques (massage) and decompression methods (cupping) soften constricted muscle fibers and connective tissue, while also offering super deep relaxation to the nervous system which helps to relieve pain, stiffness, headaches, limited mobility, cramping, and other dysfunctions. These therapies increase circulation, oxygen, and chi, while clearing stagnation, metabolic buildup, and adhesions—optimizing neuromuscular communication and keeping your body’s systems strong and toned.
I believe that "healing" is really just re-membering. It's a coming back together with your natural state and it isn’t just physical—your body responds to your mind, emotions, and deeply held beliefs. HeartMath® scientific research shows us that the heart informs the brain and body far more than the other way around via the vagus nerve. This is why I integrate contemplation, coaching, and coherence techniques to help shift your state of being—so that the changes we create together are sustainable and long-lasting.
My intention is to bring my best to every single session through loving presence.
I provide a safe, professional, and respectful space for all who grace me with their company. Combining bodywork with coaching and mentorship on how to create more heart-brain coherence is my passion. Find out more here.
