I facilitate your body’s natural ability to relieve tension, pain, and stress with Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Acupressure, and Craniosacral Therapy.  

By remaining attentive to your unique patterns of tension, I tailor your treatment to address your specific needs. I know chronic pain from experience, and can address your questions and concerns regarding pain management.  I can also offer simple relaxation, stretching, and strengthening techniques for daily vigilance against the screen-car-stress patterns we find ourselves hunched into.  I’m committed to helping my clients pursue more complete, easeful embodiment. 

I’m a Certified Massage Therapist and member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals.  I study Craniosacral Therapy at the Upledger Institute, and I graduated from the Massage Therapist program at McKinnon Body Therapy Center in Oakland, California.  In addition, I hold an MRes in Performance & Creative Research from Roehampton University in London, and a BA in Dance & Literature from Bennington College.
