Licensed Massage Therapist
Registered Bowen Practitioner
Born and raised in the Seattle area, I moved to the Bellingham area in 2013 with my family. Part of what drew me to this area was the sense of family and community that prides itself on health, wellness, being active & sports, nature and local sustainability.
I earned an Associate of Science degree in Massage Therapy at Whatcom Community College in 2015. I continued my education with the Northwest School of Structural Therapy. Where I earned certifications in Bowenwork and Tensegrity Medicine. I am certified by the Washington State Department of Health and a member of the American Bodywork and Massage Association.
My passion for learning and understanding how our bodies are designed and move, have brought invaluable tools to my work and practice. It has always been my goal to provide a unique balance to massage by utilizing the physical, therapeutic techniques needed for effective massage while maintaining and overall balance of body and mind.
My understanding of how massage plays a vital role in our healthcare routines allows me to work with clients to create an individualized plan for their specific needs.
The foundation of my training and education is in Swedish massage and Myofascial techniques. I have complimented this with studies in tensegrity and relational anatomy to develop a more comprehensive understanding of patterns and movements of the body.
By assessing the client’s area of pain or restriction and translating how this may relate to the joint or muscles, I can work with the client on a treatment plan to improve range of motion and decrease chronic pain.
I have specific interests in frozen shoulders, SI joint injuries, and conditions limiting range of motion and pain in the hips. I also enjoy working with clients who are active in sports or other physical activities for maintenance and preventative massage, as well as for injuries or event recovery.
I believe massage is an important part of our healthcare routines whether treating an injury, a chronic condition, preventative care or simply for relaxation. I look forward to meeting each of you and help bring massage into your life as part of your health and wellness.
