​​I believe in our innate capacity to tune into our internal compass and discern what truly aligns with us. Nurturing and trusting this compass requires practice, and I am dedicated to supporting you on your journey as you discover a process that is authentically yours. Through a combination of massage, movement, and wellness strategies, my practice is designed to assist you in unlocking your own profound wisdom.

You're Right Where You Need to Be.

Massage, movement, and wellness

I use a comprehensive understanding of anatomy and energy to provide an experience that extends beyond the physical realm, integrating the parasympathetic nervous system to facilitate deep relaxation and restoration, nurturing both the body and mind.

Body, Mind, and Spirit

a holistic approach 

Massage directly reduces cortisol (stress hormone), while exercise releases endorphins for a mood boost. Combining both in your wellness routine offers a potent strategy for optimal well-being and vitality.





Movement and Massage

I didn’t always know I wanted to be a massage therapist and if you asked me five years ago what a movement coach was, I’d have no clue what you were talking about. In 2015 I graduated from UCSC with a degree in Sociology intent on being the best teacher ever and went on to receive my credential from CSUMB. I taught one fabulous cohort of 5th graders, packed my bags, and left the classroom for good. I was burnt out, lost, and felt like a total failure. It took a few years to redirect, but fast forward to the present day, I’m a California Certified Massage Therapist with over 500 hours of study, a NASM-certified personal trainer, and I’m absolutely obsessed with what I do. I love empowering people with tools to be successful and the magic of surprising yourself by doing something you didn’t think possible. I can’t wait to experience this magic together,

Be well,
