A native to the Central Coast, I began my journey into the world of bodywork in 2009, graduating from the California Holistic Institute in San Luis Obispo as a Certified Massage Therapist. My treatment approach for each client is different based on their individual needs. I love therapeutic modalities such as Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, and Deep Tissue work as well as incorporating stretches and traction to provide relief and increase your range of motion. The last five years I have shifted my focus to a neuromuscular therapy called Somatic Education, a type of sensory-motor retraining that releases chronic muscle tension, increases flexibility and reduces musculoskeletal pain. As a Certified Somatic Educator I use postural assessment and hands-on assessment to help educate you in gentle exercises you can do to bring balance back in to your musculoskeletal system, and ways you can be more mindful of your body mechanics in your everyday life. Empowering my clientele with this knowledge and awareness is one of my favorite aspects of this work, and I am grateful to be in a space where I can share this with you.
