My massage career began in 2010 in Boise, Idaho after studying energy movement through “the peaceful martial art” of Aikido and co-creating Three Oaks Academy of Healing Arts. In addition to private practice and clinical work alongside physical therapists, I worked with women of the Boise refugee community to cultivate peace and wellness through healing touch as they integrated into their new lives. I’ve cradled critically vulnerable newborns in Intensive Care and supported humans approaching the later stages of life, facilitating workshops around death and dying (and the invariably linked focus on the gift of life).
In 2017, with a passion to learn more about the healing wisdom of the world, I joined a Holistic Practices team in the tiny Chinese mountain town of Jackson Hole (yes, Jackson Hole!), north of Beijing. 2018-2019 saw me immersed in holistic / retreat centers throughout the U.S.
I returned to Santa Barbara in 2019 bringing a unique array of skills, knowledge, and wisdom endowed by generous friends and teachers who believe in raising the tide that floats all boats. I hope to be of service to you or someone you care about. May you be well and at peace.
Where I work
A healing environment is crucial to the integration of massage into the whole body, mind and spirit. In every way possible, I endeavor to create a space that is inviting, calming, beautiful and safe.
Conveniently located mid-town across the street from the YMCA, my second floor office is situated in a vibrant, tree-filled neighborhood. You are welcome here.
