I became a licensed massage therapist in 2008. Starting my journey in Virginia, I moved to PA for 18 months in 2018 while my husband completed his graduate program. In December 2019, I moved to Austin TX and am excited to start a new journey here!

I use therapeutic massage and bodywork with clients to reduce chronic and acute pain. We talk about what might be causing your pain - from emotions, to injuries, to stress – how to approach this in the session, and options to reduce your pain in between sessions. I love to create change over time with bodywork and maintenance routines that make sense for your life. As so many of us struggle with stress, anxiety, and depression, I really enjoy using massage as an additional tool to keep symptoms manageable. You can feel confident that I will provide a safe space to heal.

I work with a wide range of clients aging between young professionals to geriatric massage. I have worked with clients who want to relax and un-wined from a stressful day to bodybuilders who are looking for faster muscle recovery to clients who are recovering from surgery.

I blend clinical techniques and smooth transitions to customize each session to how your body is feeling that day. Our bodies are a complex unit of systems interacting every second of the day, I am committed to keep learning and furthering my education to give my clients the best experience possible.

Massage therapy and bodywork is an amazing tool to add to your self-care routine that can maximize your health and wellness.
