My Story

I’ve been a Certified Massage Therapist since 2002, beginning my career with a focus on injury prevention, rehabilitation, and therapeutic bodywork. I earned my Practitioner and Therapist certifications from Hirudaya Holistic Life Center School of Massage in San Luis Obispo, where I later served as an instructor from 2003–2006, teaching Sports Massage and Ethics & Professionalism for Bodyworkers. From 2012–2016, I also taught Sports Massage at the California Holistic Institute. In 2014, I obtained my California Massage Therapy Council state certification.

​

Over the years, working closely with clients experiencing physical pain and recurring tension, I began to notice consistent patterns — the body reflecting stress, emotional strain, and lived experience. This observation deepened my curiosity about the relationship between structure, stress, and energy.

​

In 2018, I expanded my training in Touch for Health Kinesiology, studying meridian energy balancing and muscle testing under Matthew Thie of the International Kinesiology College. In 2021, I became a certified Clinical EFT Practitioner through EFT Universe, founded by Dawson Church, PhD. These modalities broadened my perspective and strengthened my understanding of how emotional and physiological patterns intersect.

​

Today, bodymind awareness informs all of my work. Whether through therapeutic massage, intuitive body-based insight, or energy balancing, I approach each session with the understanding that the body carries both tension and wisdom.

​

I continue to study and refine my craft, remaining a lifelong learner in the evolving field of mind–body health.
