After spending 20 years as a graphic designer, I found myself longing for work that brought me closer to my heart. I wanted to create a life that supported not just me, but others, in finding their own healing. Even while I worked in offices, I would always light up when there was an opening to talk about wellness.

I received my education from the Sedona School of Massage and the White Cloud Institute. While I may incorporate techniques like Swedish, craniosacral, or reflexology as needed, the core of my work is always centered on the abdomen.

I chose to specialize in abdominal massage because I believe it’s where I can make the greatest impact. The abdomen is a center of deep emotional and energetic holding, and massage has the power to facilitate emotional release and restore balance in a way that few other modalities can. My approach is intuitive and compassionate—working gently, yet deeply.

I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients. I don’t assume to know where my clients are at; instead, I hold space for whatever needs to arise. There is so much wisdom in each person, and I learn a great deal from my clients as they discover insights about themselves.

What I love most about my work is witnessing transformation. I love seeing someone rise from the table with a new face. People who have never experienced this work are always amazed at how much better they feel.

The most significant influence on my work was my mother’s passing in 2018 after her battle with breast cancer. As she faced her own mortality, I witnessed her come to terms with the emotional burdens she had carried. Even as her body deteriorated, her spirit became the brightest I had ever seen.

Her transformation in the last few months of her life profoundly inspired me. I witnessed my mother come to life as she was dying, and through that experience, the seed was planted to help others find that same lightness—to live with freedom in their bodies and hearts, to forgive, to experience joy, and to embrace the gift of life and everything it has to offer.
