People often ask me what kind of massage I do, and I usually pause before answering. Not because I don’t know—but because my work doesn’t fit neatly into a single category.
Over the years, different techniques, trainings, and experiences have blended into a way of working that’s very much my own. I’ve never been overly focused on titles or certificates. What’s always mattered more to me is whether something actually helps—whether a technique makes sense for the person in front of me and supports their body in a real way.
I’m not a doctor or licensed medical provider, and massage is never a replacement for medical care. That said, I’ve spent many years working alongside medical professionals in clinic settings. I’ve supported hundreds of workers’ compensation cases under physician orders, participated in medical team meetings, and part of clients navigate complex and sometimes long-standing body issues.
My work has supported people through injury recovery, chronic pain, athletic performance (including contributing to a world championship win), and the everyday wear and tear of life. I’ve also been present for people during major transitions—high stress, uncertainty, and end-of-life care—when thoughtful touch can make things feel a little more manageable.
Below is an incomplete list of certificates and trainings. Some offered useful tools, others deeply shaped how I work. Many of the most important lessons came without certificates at all—hours spent studying a client’s condition, learning how injuries affect the body, and refining how massage can truly support healing and function.
At its core, my work is about listening—to the body, to the nervous system, and to the person as a whole. Through experience, intuition, and hands-on practice, I support the body’s natural ability to regulate, adapt, and find balance.
If you’re looking for massage that’s thoughtful, individualized, and responsive to where you are right now, call 707-578-1240

This is an incomplete book of CEUs I’ve taken. I didn’t keep track of my certificates because when I took these classes it was to learn a skill, not to put a certificate on the wall. As I come across them I’ve decided to put them in a binder. These classes, mentors, colleagues and my clients are what have shaped the way I work and think.

The display is what the City of SR and State of California want for therapist to practice. My work is much more than this required display. I need some more plants and a bigger clock to hide this reduced version of my work. You’re welcome to ask to see my binder next time you’re in. It’s kind of fun for my practitioner clients.

A little history from the CEU book,
My first Cranial Sacral Therapy class with Upledger was 2000 after the recommendation from two of my early mentors DC Neal Gates(1997) and Jeffrey Maitland Ph.D. (1998). I rented office space from doctor Gates for 8 years and took 44 hour of amazing classes from Jeff Maitland. You have experienced his work if you’ve been on my table.

I saw this quote and thought It was a good reminder to share.

“YOU are the greatest project you’ll ever work on. Restart. Reset. Refocus. As many times as you need to, just don’t give up.”
