After moving to Portland from California in 2017 I found myself growing close the the community in the PNW. During the pandemic I finally had a chance to pursue a long time dream of becoming a licensed massage therapist! ( Made some wonderful lemonade out of lemons!)

In 2021 I graduated from the prestigious East West College of the Healing art and have been working simultaneously at a chiropractic office and spa settings ever since! These opportunities have provided a diverse clientele including those recovering from injuries or surgeries as well as those with chronic pain and stress, prenatal, minors, geriatric and more. I fully understand that symptoms have a layered affect- one issue could be very connected to another!

Techniques

The techniques I’ve learned are typically a hybrid of therapeutic massage and relaxation- the body tends to respond best when it is calm. This allows me to reach those deep muscle groups without fighting the tissues- although I also understand that yummy type of pain that “hurts so good”.

Creating a safe space for clients to advocate for themselves, feel free to change their minds, participate in their treatment plan and feel comfortable to speak up if any changes need to be made is deeply rooted in my mission.
