ABOUT ME

The leading force that guides my life is my deep reverence for the human body. Three years ago, my body reached a point where it could no longer hold the emotional and physical trauma it had been carrying, unaddressed, since birth. My nervous system was in a constant state of shock, my digestion was barely functioning, I was severely anxious, deeply depressed, and my coping skills were doing much more harm than good. I finally got into enough pain that I agreed to get help. Since that moment, I have been healing. After exploring many various modalities and practitioners, I discovered somatic therapy, cranial sacral therapy, and acupuncture. The awareness and wisdom that these practices were rooted in opened me to an entirely new relationship to my body and became the guiding lights of my journey. I found practitioners with profound intuitive abilities and a wide range of personal experience that allowed them to truly see and acknowledge the depth of my pain. They helped me to see and understand my body as a dynamic, magical, and intelligent ecosystem that is always seeking and moving towards health. They also gave me a reference point for what it is like to be truly held, supported, and cared for. Within these sessions I discovered that powerful transformation takes place when you learn to reach towards yourself with compassion and love, rather than trying to “fix” it. I also learned that I know a lot more about my body than I thought I did. I found myself quite frustrated with the ways most western models of health attempted to section individuals into pieces, make assumptions, and completely ignore vital aspects of the bigger picture. There seemed to be an overwhelming lack of curiosity and humility. I have become a big advocate for holistic health and encourage everyone I meet to deepen their relationship to their intuition.

I graduated from Sacred Roots Massage School in June 2023 and have since been working primarily with veterans. I hope to soon become a somatic practitioner and cranial sacral therapist myself. Until then, I will continue to use my massage practice intentionally, as a way of offering my clients space to be witnessed, supported, and held. My work stems from a place of true dedication to joy and vitality. I am intensely passionate about the healing properties of the earth and entirely humbled by the power of the human spirit. I know with every cell of my being that together we can reach the peace and aliveness that our souls deeply crave.
