About Me

Several years ago, during a change of direction, I decided that it was time to embark on a career that had always called me, massage therapy. I graduated with 500 Hours from Los Angeles Vocational Institute in 2006 and have been licensed in the state of Oregon since June of 2007. When I arrived in Oregon, I joined and then became head of the massage team at Breitenbush Hotsprings Retreat and Conference Center in the Willamette national forest just north of Detroit, Oregon. In September of 2008, I moved to Eugene and now work with clients through my private practice and through the office of a local chiropractor. I practice, embrace and celebrate continuing education to develop my work.

About My Work

Painless Therapeutic Treatment

My talent and ability lie in the skillful, intuitive and patient application of various deep tissue techniques, helping clients release acute and chronic tension patterns caused by injury or imbalanced postural function without causing them pain. Making deep tissue treatment painless takes time and focus, but working in this manner increases the effectiveness of treatment ––relaxed tissues not only respond better to manipulation, but the body will retain the changes longer, allowing clients the ability to build upon benefit in successive treatments. This type of work also makes deep tissue therapy available to more physically sensitive clients who might need clinical treatment, but normally avoid deeper styles of bodywork.

Relaxation and Wellbeing

While a more clinically focused session will also definitely increase relaxation, clients might not be looking for the intensity of a clinical session. By combining firmly grounded intuition and thoughtful, nurturing, rhythmic touch, my focus during these sessions is to relax the tissues and increase circulation, helping nourish the cells of your body and increase your state of wellbeing.

Like most bodyworkers, I bring to each session all of my training and experience to best meet the client's needs, but for those of you familiar with or interested in bodywork techniques, my modalities include Medical Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point, Deep Tissue, Swedish, Warm & Cold Stone and Prenatal. I am also happy to refer clients to professionals who can help if I am unable.

I am deeply honored and fulfilled by this work.

Thank you for your trust.
