▎ My first massage wasn't something I planned — it was a gift from a friend who noticed what stress from my previous work was doing to me. I didn't expect much walking onto that table, but I stepped off it a different person: genuinely at rest, maybe for the first time in years. That was the moment I knew I wanted to give people that same feeling.

▎ I trained at the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, completing their 800-hour program across both Eastern and Western massage traditions. Since taking over this studio in 2024, my focus has shifted toward somatic, nervous system-focused work — helping the body feel safe enough to release tension that's sometimes been held for years, without needing to relive or explain where it came from. I'm continually training in new modalities, because the work only gets better with more tools to meet each person where they actually are.
