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 had opportunities to travel to places in this world, far and wide, and have learned a lot about healing arts in the states and in other cultures. I have studied botanical medicine from some very wise teachers and am currently studying evidence based functional nutrition. I look forward to being nationally board certified in 2024 and to able to help clients achieve a deeper level of healing through food and lifestyle choices and focusing on preventing cognitive decline, cancer and heart disease. 

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