My professional career began in 1989 following completion of a Massage Technician training through the Institute of Psycho-Structural Integration, now the International Professional School of Bodywork.   Since that time I have accumulated over 2,000 in-class hours of professional education in somatic arts and spatial medicine.  I have worked with a wide range of health care providers since 1984 and have been an instructor in professional massage therapy programs since 1996.

 

Exploring our inhabitance of body and space through movement studies, including yoga and Tai Chi, has provided me with valuable insights to share as I assist clients with gaining greater functionality.   I also enjoy empowering others through wellness education and personal growth resources.  I have witnessed the potential of skilled touch applied with focused attention to improve our quality of life and soothe our sufferings.  It is my desire to provide these benefits and assist people with building joy and vitality in their lives. 

 

With individually tailored sessions I engage clients in the process of accessing their body's inherent resiliency, wisdom, and healing capacity, working gently or deeply as desired for comfort and to meet predetermined goals.
