I am someone with many passions in this life. I do my best to bring them all together and to share my knowledge and experience with those I have the honor of working with in my massage practice. 

 

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Anthropology in Texas, but after moving to Portland in 1997 I became increasingly curious about natural health sciences. I started surrounding myself with people who felt the same and my life long journey began.

 

I graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts in 2002 with 650 hours of various massage therapy, anatomy, physiology and pathology courses. I then worked for almost 10 years in a very busy chiropractic clinic where I gained unparalleled experience with injured bodies. During that time, I developed my own practice which grew very quickly with a steady flow of loyal clients. Since then I have worked with very talented and empathetic practitioners from all areas of healthcare, giving me thousands of hours of experience and guidance.

​

I have been very lucky to have been able to travel to places in this world far and wide and have learned a lot about healing arts in other places. After two decades in Portland I have chosen a quieter life in the Wallowa Mountains in Jospeh, OR, a place I have visited many times over the years, a place that holds a lot of great memories and friendships for me. 

​

I feel honored to receive permission to work with the healing journey of each individual I see. Please call me with any questions.

I have been a licensed massage therapist since graduating from East West College in 2004. Before then, I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Southern Oregon University. 

​

I take great pride in helping individuals navigate with greater ease through their busy and stressful lives. My therapeutic and intuitive touch has been helping a variety of clients, ranging from those looking for stress relief, recovery from personal injury, athletes looking to rebound faster from events and expectant mothers dealing with aches and pains due to the incredible changes occurring within their bodies. 

​

It is my passion to make other people's lives just a little bit easier. In my free time I enjoy being with friends and family, traveling, running with my dog Bella, golfing, or simply enjoying life!
