A provider who considers the person you are today, and all the days to come

I believe there are people among us that have been gifted with a passion for ensuring the care and well being of others. I am honored to have this passion, and take pride in being a listening ear, an open mind, and an encouraging voice in your corner. During sessions my promise is always to create a bridge between you and your body in a safe and informed environment.

Growing up an athlete, and immersed in a family of medical professionals near Chicago, I took a particular interest in the study of kinesiology and physiology. This interest was brought to the surface by an ailment that had inhibited me for years. With many attempts, but no success from traditional Western protocols, I was finally prompted to see an abdominal visceral therapist. She was not only able to treat the issue in just a couple of sessions, but opened my eyes to the vast interconnectedness of the body. Words cannot express how amazed, grateful and inspired I was by the miraculous results obtained through human touch and a genuine drive to get to the root problem. Soon after I chose to begin a career in clinical massage therapy. I graduated from the Soma Institute of Massage Therapy in Chicago, one of the few schools nationwide that put a well rounded emphasis on human anatomy, pathology, physiology, orthopedic tests, and kinesiology. I worked alongside chiropractors, acupuncturists, nutritionists, and physical therapists for a number of years, taking in their refined expertise and integrating them into my methodology. I have since expanded my scope of practice to specialized approaches of deep tissue therapy, abdominal visceral, myofascial and lymphatic work. Helping guide clients through a variety of obstacles and supporting them on the path towards their specific goals.

Today I remain deeply rooted in my commitment to evolving my sessions with the emerging science from Western medicine and the abundant knowledge from Eastern medicine to maintain an evidence-based practice. I hold the belief that kintsugi offers, that caring for the body is not to return to how we were before because every crack that we have can become renewed appreciation for our bodies, and an even stronger point of connection.
