Who I Am and How I Got Here

I became a licensed massage therapist in 2008 and moved to Austin TX in 2019. I am a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, this is a safe and welcoming place for all people no matter how you express yourself.

 

I use therapeutic massage and bodywork with clients to reduce chronic and acute pain. We talk about what might be causing your pain - from emotions, to injuries, to stress – how to approach this in the session, and strategies to reduce your pain at home. I love to create change over time with massage therapy, bodywork and maintenance routines that make sense for your life. As so many of us struggle with stress, anxiety, and depression, I really enjoy using massage as an additional tool to keep symptoms manageable. You can feel confident that I will provide a safe space to heal.

​

I work with a wide range of clients aging between young professionals to geriatric. Modalities that I am interested in include deep tissue, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, energy work, and lymphatic drainage. I have worked with clients who want to relax, to bodybuilders who need muscle recovery, to clients recovering from surgery. Throughout my career, I have worked in Chiropractors office, high end spas, subscription massage spas, office buildings, and chair massage events.

 

I blend clinical massage therapy techniques and smooth transitions to customize each session to how your body is feeling that day. My style tends to be described as relaxing deep tissue massage work. Our bodies are a complex unit of systems interacting every second of the day, I am committed to keep learning and furthering my education to give my clients the best massage experience possible.

​

I wanted to start a company that I believed would excite health professionals to keep pushing and looking at wellness in new ways; it will also engage my clients through long term relationships to achieve their dreams. As my client, I will value you as an individual with different needs than anyone else; I provide bodywork that focuses on function and interaction between systems but does not skimp on the goal of feeling content and at peace during the session.
