About Me

My journey into healing began over two decades ago while working as a fitness instructor with the American Fitness Association of America (AFAA). Inspired by the body’s remarkable ability to heal through movement and touch, I went on to complete more than 1,000 hours of training at Blue Cliff College, with specialized certifications in Deep Tissue Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Sports Massage.

From there, I built a thriving private practice dedicated to true healing, not just surface-level relaxation. Over the years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life: seniors, professional athletes, busy professionals, and those on a path to physical and emotional recovery. I am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).

What sets my work apart is its depth and intentionality. I integrate a powerful blend of Eastern and Western healing modalities, always seeking to treat the root of imbalance, not just the symptoms. My sessions are intuitive, restorative, and rooted in deep listening to the body’s wisdom.

My passion for learning and exploring led me across the world, deepening my understanding of holistic healing at its source. In Chiang Mai, Thailand, I trained at the renowned International Training Massage School, earning certifications in Nuad Bo-Rarn Thai Massage (Levels I & II). I then traveled to China, where I studied at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Massage Hospital in Beijing. I also completed intensive training in acupuncture principles, Moxibustion, and Tuina at the China Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center.

These studies, along with ongoing exploration of Chinese medical theory and energy balancing, profoundly shaped my approach to bodywork. My sessions are not just physical treatments; they are energetic re-alignments that support healing on every level.

To support deeper emotional and energetic transformation, I completed a full curriculum in Polarity Therapy at the Polarity Balancing Center in Boulder, Colorado. This powerful system works with the body’s energy fields to restore flow, balance, and connection.

In 2008, I became a certified clinical hypnotherapist through the HCH Institute in Lafayette, California, specializing in psycho-spiritual integration. I later trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), earning my Practitioner and Master Practitioner certifications through NLP Marin and NLPCA.

This mind-body integration allows me to support clients not only physically, but emotionally and energetically, helping release stored trauma, shift unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with inner peace and vitality.

Whether you’re experiencing chronic pain, emotional stress, physical tension, or simply want to reconnect with yourself,  I create a safe, sacred space where healing happens. My work is intuitive, therapeutic, and deeply personalized. I don’t offer cookie-cutter massages; I offer transformative experiences designed to help you feel lighter, freer, and more alive.

Over the years, I’ve also collaborated closely with chiropractors, acupuncturists, and wellness teams and have brought my services to corporate events across the Bay Area. My passion is to help people feel their best, in body, mind, and spirit.

I love what I do. It brings me true joy to know I’ve made a difference in someone’s life, even in a small way.

I look forward to supporting your journey back to balance.
