Simple: a guiding philosophy
✔ My clients know their own bodies best. They are in charge.
✔ We are always changing over time, and each session is a unique healing opportunity.
✔ My clients deserve my full attention and highest healing intention, every time.
My journey with massage started in my teens. My cousin had just become a massage therapist, and she gave me a neck and scalp massage. I was amazed at how it instantly centered and calmed me, and banished the tension from my body and mind.
That one massage seeded my curiosity about touch therapy. I went to massage school in Baltimore in 2003, immediately after completing my undergraduate degree from St. John’s College, where I had spent four years studying the mind and learning how to use mine. It was time to learn more about body and spirit. Decades later, here we are!
Notably, I am Board Certified for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB®) through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork.
This is the highest credentialing designation available in the field of massage therapy.
I am also certified through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).
Today, most of my business is through word-of-mouth, and I greatly appreciate referrals. Because of my medical focus, I am often recommended by local physical therapy offices and medspas.
When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, film, hiking, hanging out with my elderly cat, and traveling.
I’m deeply grateful and humbled to practice bodywork. It’s an honor to help people heal, restore balance, and feel better in their bodies.
Please call or text me to discuss your specific needs. I look forward to serving you.
