Hello and welcome!

My mission is to help promote the healing of body, soul, and spirit through bodywork and movement. Each massage is unique, every session is customized to be either rehabilitative, therapeutic, and/or restorative depending on my client's needs. The sessions blend modalities to include Craniosacral therapy, Active Release, Neuromuscular and myofascial.

My journey into this amazing field has been via an unconventional path. For over a decade, I worked in the hospitality and financial industries as an accountant, consultant, and executive assistant. When I returned from a year-long work and study program in London, I desired a career transition. I enrolled in the Finger Lakes School of Massage and have been practicing ever since.

In 2022 I earned my Masters in Human Services Counseling with a Coaching concentration. I am excited to partner with those ready to make the commitment to growth. My focus areas include movement, financial, spiritual, and health and wellness.

I am a lifelong student of martial arts and have been practicing for nearly 30 years. I am a Kukkiwon certified 4th-degree blackbelt in Taekwondo and have studied many other martial arts including Hapkido and Wing Tsun Kung Fu, kickboxing, krav maga, and kali.

I grew up playing several sports and played Varsity softball in college.

In my free time, I enjoy time volunteering with my faith community, exploring nature either hiking on land or kayaking in the water!
