Me...
I'm obsessed with education, the inner worlds of our bodies, and the art of therapeutic touch.  
I LOVE Massage and Craniosacral therapy. The art of massage has always been a passion of mine. Adding Craniosacral therapy has been a beautiful journey of learning how to best support my clients. Through my trainings, I have been to the depths of my own self, and supported many others on their healing journey. This allows me to support my clients in a neutral and supportive way, no matter what the situation is. 

I've been a massage professional for 21 years and Certified Craniosacral therapist for 6, with 18 years of Craniosacral training.  

Current happenings:

2025 has been a typical year of continued education with 3 new classes completed and an amazing seminar attended on tongue tie assessment.  Never stop learning! 


I will be out of both offices 6/18-6/27 and 7/20-8/3
