My Results-Oriented Bodywork Approach 🎯

With over 18 years as a movement professional and massage therapist, I specialize in a results-focused, personalized approach designed to help you move and feel better—right now and in the long term.

My own journey began in the 1990s, when I herniated a disc in high school. In college I began dealing with chronic tension headaches. After the birth of my daughter, I developed chronic SI Joint dysfunction & pain. My personal experiences showed me that healing isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about identifying root causes and restoring function through intentional, informed touch.

What Makes This Work Different

  • Anatomy + Movement Expertise: Combining deep knowledge of kinesiology, biomechanics, and therapeutic modalities to pinpoint and release restrictive tension.

  • Targeted Techniques: Using myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, cupping, trigger-point work, and movement integration to address chronic patterns and persistent discomfort.

  • Somatic Awareness: Guiding clients into greater body awareness so you can learn to sense and release tension long after our session ends.

  • Mind–Body Connection: Recognizing that emotional and mental stress create physical tension—and that lasting relief requires working with the whole person.

  • Empathy from Experience: I’ve been there—so I bring compassion, credibility, and a deep sensitivity to what sustained chronic pain feels like.

My Life Approach to Movement

Movement is essential—not just for fitness, but for living well. I believe in movement for doing life well: the kind of mindful, intentional practice that helps you move better, feel stronger, and stay connected to your body no matter your age, goals, or history.

With over 18 years of experience in movement and bodywork, I offer a unique blend of Pilates, yoga, and somatic movement, grounded in a deep understanding of anatomy and a personal journey through injury and chronic pain. Whether you’re recovering, adapting, or optimizing, I’m here to help you move better and more often—not just in the studio, but in daily life.

What Makes This Work Different

  • Rehab & Prehab Focus: Build strength, mobility, and resilience to support recovery from injury or prevent it altogether.

  • Nervous System-Aware: Movement that supports regulation, grounding, and stress relief, especially for clients dealing with chronic conditions, tension, or fatigue.

  • Tailored to You: Every session is personalized to your needs, whether you're an athlete, managing a neurological condition, or just want to feel more at ease in your body.

  • Longevity + Function: Learn how to move with better mechanics, alignment, and awareness so you can keep doing the things you love—for as long as possible.

This isn’t about pushing through pain or chasing perfection. It’s about cultivating strength, clarity, and confidence so you can show up fully—for your body, your health, and your life.

The Results You Can Expect

  • Reduced pain & tension in areas like the low back, neck, traps, and shoulders

  • Improved posture, mobility, and movement patterns

  • Enhanced awareness of how your body holds tension—and strategies to unwind it

  • Tools for self-care like guided movements and release techniques you can use at home

Whether you’re managing long-term pain, recovering from injury, or eager to feel stronger in your body, my goal is to empower you with embodied understanding and meaningful change.

In 2016 I graduated from Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy with training in medical, neuromuscular, hot stone, Swedish, sports/athletic recovery, barefoot deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point, cransiosacral therapy, prenatal, kinesiology, manual lymphatic drainage, spa, and muscle energy techniques.
