My journey into healing massage work began with an interest in the nursing field, taking pre-nursing courses, and then being drawn into massage as a way to have a different "hands on" way to help others. Also, having a thirst for knowledge and learning about how other cultures heal, including using massage as a way to stay healthy. After training at the Oregon School of Massage and becoming certified and licensed, I went on to study a wide range of traditional and energy based modalities — from Native American stone therapy, lymphatic drainage massage, Ayurvedic and Vietnamese facial reflexology, visceral manipulation, acupressure, and the energy methods of Ho'oponopono, Bio-energy, and Spring Forest style Qigong. I was particularly interested in methods from India, Asia, Hawaii, and Native America.  Being able to self-treat and find relief really connected me to certain modalities. These, along with coaching the biology of belief I feel are fantastic ways I choose to help others with the healing they want to accomplish. Inspired by God's grace, my aim is to support your healing  journey with respect, kindness and no judgement. Over the years, I have worked in both upscale spas and healthcare environments, always drawn to the transformation that happens when people feel truly cared for.

 

Now in private practice, I am specializing in helping women feel their best with lymphatic massage and face lifting buccal massage. I believe in these services so much, and have seen wonderful results. I bring a calming, grounded presence to every session, always focused on listening to expectations, my own intuition, and delivering a tailored approach which weaves in some of the other healing methods I have, so customers will leave feeling great, heard and happy.​

​

When I am not working with clients, I love spending time (so glad to be back in Oregon!) with my family, friends, painting, reading and nature photography with my husband. I miss our sweet, beautiful Husky and I am always so happy to pet doggies on walks.​

 

​I am grateful to do this work. I hope you come to experience what I have to offer, and thank you for visiting my website!
