What's your favorite essential oil? My current fav is from Pure Pro Massage Products, specifically, the "Muscle & Joint Essential Oil Synergy™"

Add on this exclusive essential oil to any massage in December or January at no additional cost. Great for sore muscles and joints and increasing circulation!

About thirteen years ago, I volunteered for AmeriCorps in Northern California, working to protect and restore an endangered/threatened salmon population. I was paid just enough to cover rent and a couple of other expenses, but I didn't make enough money to buy groceries. I heavily relied on SNAP to eat. I didn't think twice about applying for this benefit. I knew I couldn't afford groceries on top of rent. And while I hate this phrase, applying for SNAP literally felt like a "no-brainer."

While I no longer need to rely on this predominantly federally funded program, food access and food security are still close to my heart.

In addition to my work as a massage therapist, I also work for a local nonprofit that helps local farms remain viable, educates people on the importance of buying local and supporting small farms, and works hard in advocacy efforts & our Senior FarmShare program to make local food more accessible.

Having access to healthy and even local food should not be considered a luxury. It's a human right.

This November, I'll be donating a portion of my business sales to a local nonprofit and farm store to support those in need.

By booking a massage with me, you're not only supporting your own well-being; you're helping others to meet their own basic needs. Thank you for your support 💛

Before each massage session, I take a moment to ground myself and clear both my own energy and the energy of the space. Here, I’m using a simple EFT/Tapping practice to feel present and centered.

Tapping, combined with mindful breathing, works through the body’s meridian points, areas where energy is stored and connected to different organs and emotions. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to calm the nervous system, slow your thoughts, and ease physical tension.

I’ve even shared a few minutes of tapping with clients before their massage sessions, and they’ve told me they feel instantly more relaxed, less anxious, and deeply grounded.

I’m currently welcoming new clients for EFT/Tapping sessions. Send me a message if you’d like to learn more!

This past weekend, I took a myofascial Swedish massage workshop with someone known as The Massage Sloth (and nope, not weird or creepy at all, promise!).

This technique is all about slow, intentional movements that help release tension in the shoulders, hips, lower back, and neck by working with fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, bones, and organs.

How is this style of massage different from the Swedish and deep tissue work I already offer?

➡️ Think: slow, broad strokes; pinning and stretching muscle groups; releasing (and literally melting) points of tension.

I’m really excited to start weaving this into the work I already do, while still keeping the focused, trigger point work you’re used to.

This new technique just adds more variety and another powerful way to calm the nervous system.

✨ I have massage sessions available this weekend and more into July.

The guilt we feel around rest is rooted in capitalism, but as we work to change the system, we also need to work to change our relationship with rest.

Tap with me tomorrow, June 20th, to release guilt around rest and gently give yourself permission to just be. 💛

Let go of the pressure to do it all and give yourself permission to rest using EFT/Tapping. This session will help you soften the inner critic, embrace rest as essential, and feel safe to slow down. We will tap together to release guilt, welcome stillness, and trust that being is enough.

Do you like this shirt? I like this shirt.
I couldn't find a photo of me in my massage room so this will have to do to let ya'll know that I'm making an announcement tomorrow about my business. To my email list first, of course.

This photo was taken in my childhood bedroom in early 2018. It feels like a lifetime ago AND like it was yesterday. My dear friend and brother took pictures to help me build my business. Over six years later, I'm still practicing massage therapy. I closed my business last year when I changed careers, but I reopened in February of this year because I missed it. I love my hands-on work. More importantly, I love to be a guide and space-holder for others in their self-care and healing journey.

I'm accepting new massage clients at my shared space in Sanctuary, a personal and collective wellness center inside Thornes Marketplace. Sessions are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and at least one or two Saturdays every month.

Schedule your self-care and book a massage now for October (two Saturdays available):
