CMT License # 86089

I am a holistic health practitioner with various modalities at my fingertips. I am a Certified Orthopedic Massage Therapist in the State of California, , Reiki Master, Cranial Sacral Practitioner, Herbalist, Aromatherapist, Hydrotherapist, Manual Therapist, and Soft Tissue Mobilization Expert. Additionally, I am experienced and trained in Structural Integration, Gua Sha, Cupping, Kinesiotaping, Thai Yoga Massage, Jin Shin Do Acupressure, Active Isolated Stretching, and Myofascial Release.

After attaining an Associate Degree from Santa Barbara City College in Art and English, I studied at East West College of the Healing Arts, in Portland, Oregon, Upledger Institute, and the Swedish Institute, NYC. I achieved over 1000 hours of bodywork education and was personally mentored by Dr. Ben Benjamin, PhD/ Sports Medicine, Kamala Quale, LAc., and herbalists Shaitoya de La Tour and Rosemary Gladstar. I have enjoyed a 19-year career that has shaped my trifecta approach to non-invasive corrective bodywork to address trauma, injury, or pain in the body.

The Asian Bodywork modalities I practice are Jin Shin Do Acupressure, Reiki, Gua Sha, Cupping, and Thai Yoga Massage. The modalities are an essential part of Chinese medical practice that can enhance the effectiveness of Orthopedic bodywork by correcting the function of the fascia through different but complementary pathways.

In addition to my Chinese Medicine background, I am an experienced Sports Massage and Orthopedic Therapist. These modalities use myofascial release and cross-fiber friction and other massage techniques to create mobility and reduce pain. These techniques address and break apart fascial adhesion in the tissues and connective structures.

I have had a passion for the Healing Arts since I was a small child. As a native Californian, I enjoy the local beauty and communing in nature, animals, and humans too. My philosophy is if there is peace in the body, there is peace in the mind. When I’m not doing healing work, I am writing, watercoloring and connecting with nature .
