Spread your wings, it feels good.

People often ask me what kind of massage I do, and I usually pause before answering. Not because I don’t know—but because my work doesn’t fit neatly into a single category.
Over the years, different techniques, trainings, and experiences have blended into a way of working that’s very much my own. I’ve never been overly focused on titles or certificates. What’s always mattered more to me is whether something actually helps—whether a technique makes sense for the person in front of me and supports their body in a real way.
I’m not a doctor or licensed medical provider, and massage is never a replacement for medical care. That said, I’ve spent many years working alongside medical professionals in clinic settings. I’ve supported hundreds of workers’ compensation cases under physician orders, participated in medical team meetings, and part of clients navigate complex and sometimes long-standing body issues.
My work has supported people through injury recovery, chronic pain, athletic performance (including contributing to a world championship win), and the everyday wear and tear of life. I’ve also been present for people during major transitions—high stress, uncertainty, and end-of-life care—when thoughtful touch can make things feel a little more manageable.
Below is an incomplete list of certificates and trainings. Some offered useful tools, others deeply shaped how I work. Many of the most important lessons came without certificates at all—hours spent studying a client’s condition, learning how injuries affect the body, and refining how massage can truly support healing and function.
At its core, my work is about listening—to the body, to the nervous system, and to the person as a whole. Through experience, intuition, and hands-on practice, I support the body’s natural ability to regulate, adapt, and find balance.
