I am a Certified Reiki, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Lymphatic Drainage and Thai-Shiatsu practitioner with professional schooling in Swedish and Deep Tissue modalities. I have also studied Maya Abdominal Massage, Tibetan Shirodhara and Pregnancy Massage. I work with all ages and backgrounds including children, teens and the elderly. I pay particular attention to massage as sculpture and the space around which as sacred and therapeutic. I honor each individual as a unique and special "whole" and strive to acknowledge that in my work. With a background in Gymnastics, Dance, Fine Art, Psychology and Buddhist Studies, I feel I bring a refreshing and unburdened outlook to my work, as well as a sense of humor and optimism.

As one of the Upper Valley's most experienced massage therapists, I am expert at tailoring massage sessions to meet your individual needs and preferences. My practice is not focused on specific massage modalities, but rather on outcome-based massage. I may combine several modalities during a massage session to provide you with effective, individualized treatment. I am also an ayurvedic practitioner. Ayurvedic medical services include wellness consultations, herbal therapy, cleansing and rejuvenation programs, and adjunctive treatment of medical conditions. The ability to provide ayurvedic treatments also allows me to enhance the effectiveness of massage sessions and to treat conditions that conventional Western massage cannot.
