I entered Massage Therapy in 2011 because I came from a family deeply affected by the Opioid epidemic. Witnessing the negative effects of narcotics for treating chronic pain and the complications of addiction that followed drove me to explore alternative paths for healing and managing pain.

I graduated from Spa Tech Institute in Plymouth, MA in 2012 with a certification in Holistic Massage Therapy, which included learning Polarity Therapy, a form of Energy Healing. I also have Reiki 1 and 2 certifications.

I have an insatiable thirst for learning about the human body and psyche, health, movement and healing. Since getting licensed in Massage Therapy 12 years ago I have been on my own healing journey as I have had to walk away and return to bodywork many times due to injuries and burn out.

I found Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage training in 2017 and fell involve with the modality. Using my feet allowed me to do the deep tissue work I loved without compromising my body. Plus I found it incredibly more effective, and fun! My feet have the same level of awareness and sensitivity to feel tension, trigger points and fascial adhesions as my hands.

I grew up on the South Shore of Massachusetts close to the water. Music, art and dance have always been cornerstones in my life as well as nature and hiking. I have a trauma background and am neurodivergent. I have lived and worked on farms, in organic kitchens and every position of a restaurant. I have trained as a Doula and worked with kids as a nanny and camp counselor.

These days when I'm not practicing bodywork, my nose is typically in a book or a corse. You can also find me on a hike or in the river. I love swinging kettle bells and cooking nutrient dense meals. Live music or comedy and enjoying a craft beverage with my husband on the weekends is my idea of a good time. But so is staying in and watching old movies.
