How I Work?
I practice trauma-informed bodywork that prioritizes consent, boundaries, and nervous system regulation. Sessions begin with check-ins about comfort and what your body needs. I use techniques from Swedish massage, myofascial release, and somatic experiencing, always following your body's cues.

My Healing Journey
My path to massage therapy began with my own healing from complex PTSD. I discovered how powerful trauma-informed touch could be for recovery when traditional talk therapy wasn't enough. This personal experience informs every session I offer - I understand what it's like to feel disconnected from your body.

What Clients Are Saying
"Working with this healer changed my life. I came in feeling lost and overwhelmed, and left with clarity, tools, and hope. The sessions were exactly what I needed - challenging but supportive, deep but practical. I finally feel like I'm moving forward instead of just surviving."
Sarah Mitchell
"I've worked with many healers over the years, and this approach is different. There's no spiritual bypassing, no false promises - just real, honest work that meets you where you are. I'm grateful for the transformation I've experienced and the tools I now carry with me."
Michael Chen
"This work saved me. I was at rock bottom and didn't know where to turn. The compassion, wisdom, and practical guidance I received gave me a path forward when I couldn't see one. If you're on the fence about booking a session, do it. You won't regret it."
