Hello!

I am a somatic bodyworker who loves to help people feel more connected and alive in their bodies through touch.

How do we do that together?

It’s different for everyone. Sometimes it’s all touch, sometimes it can take talking, and for others it’s about identifying and changing everyday movement patterns. Usually it’s a combination of all three. And it doesn’t take as much heavy pressure or force as you may have been conditioned to believe. Pain isn’t as useful for healing as we’d like to think. Your body is a delicate and resilient instrument that we can tune together.

My goal is to help you where you are at, give you information that you can use to help yourself, and to remind you that your body knows how to heal itself. I’m successful when you become self-sufficient and learn to feel good on your own.

People I work with 

  • People who want relief from head trauma or chronic pain

  • People who want to participate and be active in their healing process

  • People with complex, shock, and developmental trauma who want safe bodywork

  • Bodyworkers, healers, and who want help with physical self-care, belief changes, and emotional growth

  • Dancers, athletes, and performers who want to fine-tune their body

  • Queer folx who want safe and affirming bodywork

How I work

My work starts with presence and deep listening. I use the rhythms of the body, knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology as a map, and we navigate through the constellation of your whole person. My personal research and learning centers around attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and the stories we tell ourselves that influence our behavior and movement.
