In a session with me, you can expect a blend of modalities from my massage trainings in Swedish style, deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial release, Esalen, cupping/gua sha, and energetic healing. We will discuss your areas of concern and work together to address your goals in a way that supports your body in its own healing process. I am progressive with my work. Starting light, I work with the body to move into deeper layers of tissues… “with consent” - not forcing my way in to tense and rigid spaces. I am continuous with my work, starting with broad areas and gradually honing in on areas of concern/tension/pain, then zooming back out again to reconnect with the body as a whole. I am particularly passionate about working with clients who are dealing with injuries and looking for “body work”. I love being part of a person’s self-care team and helping them get back to whatever they love doing in life, whether that is high end adventure sports, parenting, or anything in between. I look forward to being a part of your self-care team!

My journey to massage therapy began during my adolescence, when I became deeply interested in health and human performance as it pertained to my athletic career as a lacrosse player. Since then, I have studied across multiple disciplines, earning degrees in Biopsychology (BS) and Athletic Training (MS) as well as studying and practicing Herbalism, Meditation, and Massage Therapy. Before moving to Truckee and transitioning into Massage Therapy… full time, I spent 7 years working as an Athletic Trainer in multidisciplinary settings ranging from professional performance training centers to high school gymnasiums. This valuable time in my career allowed me to cultivate a deep understanding of clinical sports medicine as it applies to athletes and active people in all stages of life and performance. Transitioning into massage therapy has been a harmonious shift that allows me to offer this valuable knowledge to my clients while holding space for healing with presence, intuition, and connection.
