I planned to write a "hey new followers" post, but it feels forced and uninspiring.

I'm not a writer. My language isn't words - it's touch.

I follow some brilliant minds that so eloquently bring words to how I feel or view the world. Like and JRR Tolkien, to name a few. I share their work to provide a written lens...

but it's a depiction of me that isn't whole.

My essence is felt in the healing room, during your sessions, and in the classroom when I help you infuse presence into touch.

There is where you'll find the drafts and chapters of my novel.

"When students feel it in their bones—you know the work is landing."

Grateful for the reflections coming in after our recent massage training.

This work is deeper than technique. It’s a remembering. A reawakening.

Thank you for trusting the process. 💫

There's a few spaces left to join our fall cohort.

“$300 on hair, no problem. $150 for bodywork that supports your muscles, nervous system, and energy? Suddenly it’s ‘too expensive.’”

Let’s talk about it.

Because our services aren’t covered by insurance, we’re often seen as less “legit” or not worth the same investment. We're made invisible in a system that wasn't built for this kind of deep, transformative care.

The reality? Many of us are trained, experienced, and deeply attuned practitioners.

Like Andrea (📷). Top tier - one of the best in Victoria IMO. I literally melt at her level of mastery when I'm on her table.

Invest in what heals, not just what's reimbursed.

I don't trust a therapist who doesn't have a therapist, a coach who isn't coached, or a retreat leader who doesn't also let themselves be led.

No amount of textbook knowledge compares to experiential learning.

My greatest research has been receiving the very practices I offer. Not to perfect them - but to understand them from the inside out.

Because I can't truly hold space for someone unless I've let myself be held, too.

In this photo, I was midway through my Spinal Energetics training, feeling both elated at the depth of discovery and shaken by the inner world it awoke. I was a zombie of grief and depression for about a week. I gave myself tons of space and let it all steep. And then poof...it passed, joy and lightness came back and I felt like a new version of myself I can't quite describe...

But the point is, I get what it's like to be vulnerable on the table. To want relief, clarity, or just a moment to breathe.

Ever felt a wave of relief from a simple foot rub and wondered why it felt so powerful? Reflexology might have the answer! 🦶🏽

This ancient practice sees your feet (and hands) as mirrors of your entire body, with specific reflex points linked to organs, muscles, and systems. By stimulating these points, we’re not just easing foot tension, we’re inviting the whole body to find balance and flow.

Why did I become a body therapist?

It wasn’t family influence. It wasn’t years of curiosity or a gradual calling. It was one event - major spinal surgery - that changed everything and became my catalyst.

Going through that experience, feeling both the limits and resilience of my own body, made me realize the power of skilled, intuitive touch. It also showed me how incredible our bodies are at self-healing. Recovery wasn’t just about the physical; it was about reconnecting, rebuilding, and learning to trust my body again.

Paralysis was the risk whether I did the surgery or not. I spent months in a body cast, had to relearn how to walk, and put my college and dance life on hold. It was a long road back, but it left me with something I’ll never take for granted—my body, my agility, and the use of my legs. I knew I had to choose a career on my feet!

Now, I do this work to help others reconnect with their own bodies, find relief, and move through life with greater ease. Because I know what it’s like to fight for that freedom.
