As a Portland native and Licensed Massage Therapist, I focus on creating relaxing, effective bodywork that helps you reset and feel at ease. My approach blends intuitive, flowing pressure with techniques like Swedish, deep tissue, cupping, Gua Sha, and Eastern-inspired bodywork, all tailored to your needs. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or just need a moment to unwind, I’ll create a session that works for you.

I completed my 800-hour training at East West College of the Healing Arts in 2023 after years of navigating my own chronic pain. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the impact of massage on both pain management and overall well-being.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m probably swimming in a river, grabbing coffee with friends, or hanging out with my cat. I’m excited to be working in the community I grew up in and look forward to meeting you.
