About Me

I'm a Board Certified, Licensed Massage Therapist with decades of experience in healthcare and human service. I've provided over 8000 massages in my career, using a tool kit of therapeutic modalities customized to meet the needs and goals of each unique client. My training is hospital and wellness based, including study in Medical Massage and Craniosacral Therapy.

My hands-on style blends relaxation with clinical technique. Pressure may vary depending on modality, purpose, and each client's needs. I use hands, forearms and elbows to address clients' discomforts related to muscular and fascial conditions, neurological stress and daily wear and tear. Equal parts massage artist, scientist and explorer, I rely on knowledge, curiosity and creativity to do my best work. I also believe that sometimes, when everything aligns just right, a little magic happens too.

I am also a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and Master Certified Intrinsic Health and Wellbeing Coach. I enjoy integrating coaching skills into meaningful conversations (when that makes sense), to support clients in doing their best thinking about everything they are wanting for their health, on or off the massage table. And no, we don't have to talk. You can always opt for a quiet no-conversation session.

Education: Illinois State University (B.A., Psychology), Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy (Diploma, Massage), Goddard College (M.A., Health), Intrinsic Solutions International (Certification, Health Coaching)
