I received my B.A. in Fine Arts from UCCS in 2005. Years of chronic headaches and low back pain led to a discovery of massage therapy, Pilates, and Yoga. In 2009, I completed my first 200-hour yoga teacher training. In 2016 I graduated from Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy.

About Me
My Approach
Massage therapy + Exercise = happier and healthier you. If you’ve tried “everything,” let’s talk about getting you moving better and more often.
results-oriented bodywork
I specialize in Sarga Bodywork and Ashiatsu, styles of barefoot deep tissue massage. If you like firm, deep pressure in your massage sessions, you will love Sarga and/or Ashiatsu. I also excel at sports massage for athletic performance and recovery, and bodywork (particularly Craniosacral Therapy) for managing acute or chronic pain. In your session we will integrate the many techniques in my toolkit to make sure you leave feeling better than when you walked in.
Movement for doing life well
The second main ingredient is movement. As a movement specialist, I bring over 15 years experience of teaching yoga and somatic movement to help you re-educate your body that yes, you can move without pain (or with less pain). Return to vitality and greater enjoyment of life with a regular movement practice. I offer Pilates Reformer and yoga with a "rehab and prehab" intention. If you’re an athlete, bulletproof your body so you can perform in your sport of choice at a higher level with longevity.
