About Me
As a massage therapist, I am here to help people find comfort, relaxation, and pain relief. I have been practicing massage for over seven years, and have been able to help countless people reconnect with their bodies. I have worked with a variety of clients: from youth to elderly; pregnant, in labor, and postpartum; post-surgery, and athletes. I use my experiences to adjust each session to meet the needs of the individual, honoring their intentions for the session while also listening to my intuition on how best to aid their healing. I consider my style as therapeutic massage, blending modalities and techniques to focus on the specific needs of each person I work with.
It is my honor as a therapist to encourage and support you in whatever your wellness goals are, and I will lend my knowledge and skill set to aid you in reaching those goals. I hope you will allow me to join you on the journey to well-being and relaxation as you reconnect to your body.

Since moving to San Diego, I have been focusing on working with women as they go through pregnancy and postpartum. There are numerous changes happening in the body during this time, and I have seen many women benefit from massage and bodywork to help with physical and emotional stress. Self-care is essential for everyone, but especially the perinatal and postnatal woman. I am certified in prenatal massage techniques, and use my skills to help relieve sciatic pain, swelling, and overall tension related to pregnancy.

I recently began my work as a placenta encapsulation specialist, and have had the ability to help over fifty mothers encapsulate their placentas to aid during their postnatal recovery. It is my honor to support local families in this way.

Massage Therapy
I offer a variety of modalities, combining techniques to achieve the best results for each client. I have knowledge of Deep Tissue, Swedish, Thai, and Sports massage that I blend into my work. I incorporate tools such as cupping, hot stones, Gua Sha, CBD, and aromatherapy into my sessions to aid your body in healing itself. I use my experience and intuition to best approach each session based on your needs and desired outcomes. Clients leave feeling refreshed and reset.
Prenatal & postpartum
massage
Prenatal massage sessions are perfect for promoting relaxation during pregnancy. These sessions are great during any stage of pregnancy, and can help with general tension, sciatic pain, swelling, and anxiety. Postpartum massages are helpful for healing following vaginal or cesarian birth. Benefits include reduced swelling and tension, relief from muscle pain related to labor or holding baby, hormone regulation, and improved circulation of blood and lymph to help encourage the body's healing properties. Safe at any stage as soon as you are comfortable. Can include light abdominal massage for postpartum sessions.
Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is a method of preparing the placenta into capsules for the birth person to ingest during the postnatal period. The process involves cleaning and steaming the placenta prior to dehydrating the moisture out of it, followed by grinding it so it can be filled into capsules. The benefits include hormone balancing, increased energy levels and lactation, and may help elevate mood. I follow state and local protocols for sanitation and safety to ensure the highest standards of care for your placenta.
