This isn’t just stretching.

It’s a muscle energy technique — you gently engage the muscle before relaxing into the stretch. That small activation changes how the tissue responds.

I use this often for tight pecs and forward shoulders because it helps create release that lasts.

I love incorporating active techniques like this. Your body isn’t passive in the process — it participates in the change.

People ask why my hands are so strong.

They’ve always been this way.

I’ve spent years working with them
in different ways

tending to food
tending to animals
tending to cheese
tending to my garden

it was all tactile
all slow
all hands-on

yoga taught me how to be in my body
how to listen

I’ve always worked with my hands
I’ve always paid attention
I’ve always moved slowly

it just looks different now

You come in for neck pain…
I ask about your low back.
your stress.
your digestion.

It can feel unrelated.

But the body doesn’t work in separate pieces.

Where you feel it
isn’t always where it starts.

It’s all just information.

The low back — especially around L3 — is a powerful place to work.

It connects into the psoas, the diaphragm, and the deeper patterns of how we hold tension and move through the day.

When this area is guarded, it can show up as low back discomfort, tight hips, shallow breathing, or just a constant feeling of holding.

My approach here is slow and intentional.

I’m not trying to “fix” anything — I’m listening for what the body is ready to let go of.

When it shifts, it often creates space not just in the low back, but through the whole system.

If this sounds like something your body needs, I’d love to work with you.

Massage therapy is more than just “feeling good.”

My intention in every session is simple:
listen to the body and respond to what it needs.

Sometimes that means relieving tension.
Sometimes it’s creating enough space for the nervous system to soften.

The body can hold onto stress, patterns, and experiences over time.
My role isn’t to treat or analyze that — but to support the body in finding ease.

You’ll always leave feeling better physically.
But there can also be more subtle shifts — relaxation, clarity, or a deeper sense of calm.

This is the work I care about.
Slow, intentional bodywork that meets you where you are.

Upper traps have been the theme lately.
They hold:
• chronic desk posture
• unprocessed stress
• “I’m fine”
• caregiving fatigue
• high-functioning anxiety

When I work here, I’m not just digging in with elbows.

I’m assessing texture.
Guarding patterns.
Nervous system tone.

Deep tissue should feel warm and intentional — not brutal.

This area responds beautifully when it feels safe enough to let go.

If your shoulders live somewhere near your ears, we should talk.💙

This is detailed work.
Up-close trigger point work to the upper traps, &onky after the tissue has been thoroughly warmed.

This kind of work takes trust. It’s slow, specific, and always client-led.

Upper traps often hold stress, posture patterns, desk life, CrossFit 😅, and shoulder compensation. When they stay tight, they can contribute to headaches and that heavy neck-to-head tension.

Trigger points are worked gently and thoroughly, and they take time. After sessions like this, hydration and rest really matter—be kind to yourself.

Deep does not mean aggressive.

Neck tension from wearing your shoulders as earrings to brace for the cold?

I offer deeply intentional bodywork for those seeking lasting relief from chronic tension and stress.

Appointments available this week.

Not the prettiest technique.
But wildly effective.

Elbow work through the glutes can feel intense — and also deeply relieving when done with intention.

This is the kind of work my clients ask for again and again.
Slow. Specific. Results-driven.

My favorite part of this work isn’t a single session—it’s when someone keeps coming back.

When there’s trust to work through chronic patterns together.
When I get to learn how your body responds best—because every body is different.
This work is built over time, and that trust is something I never take lightly.

This isn’t a first massage full of flair or extras.
I start with the OG tool—my hands—and pay attention to how your body responds.
Often, that’s where the real work happens.

If that kind of work speaks to you, you’re in the right place.

Before even beginning massage school, I knew how I wanted to practice.
Specific. Intentional. Medically focused.

Experience has deepened the work — and my curiosity.
Always learning. Always refining.
My clients are my teachers.

This photo is from 5 years ago. Same work but a different way of listening.
