My introduction to the healing arts started with my own healing process. With moving to San Francisco from Columbus, Ohio, in the early 90’s I was able to explore forms of healing that were unfamiliar to me. With much enthusiasm I encountered the amazing benefits of acupuncture, herbal medicine, hypnotherapy, counseling and some esoteric practices. Quickly, many of my long-standing physical issues dissipated.

In 1998, I met two people with whom I shook hands with and both persons had pinned me as a massage therapist, even though I was not at the time. Taking this experience as a revelation of sorts, I registered within one week to start a program in massage therapy at Trinity College. During my studies at Trinity College and the many classes in different forms of Eastern bodywork, I knew upon my completion of this program that I would want to learn more about Eastern practices.

In 1999 I read about Chi Nei Tsang in a local magazine. I jumped quickly at an opportunity to learn this work with Gilles Marin, a brilliant instructor. I became a Level 1 practitioner and, more importantly, took away an important message, “to take the work that I have shown you and to make it your own”…and so I did! From that point forward I began to work on every massage client’s abdomen and what evolved from that process has been an enlightening and an integral component to more self-healing, the nexus for the work that I now provide to others.

My passion is to help others achieve balance, create a fulfilling life and clear whatever is slowing them down or pre- venting them from moving forward. I practice a very supportive healing style that I customize for each client depending on their needs and the depth of treatment that they are ready for.

When I’m not working, I enjoy taking care of myself through exercise and a vegan diet. I love dancing, practicing the art form of Poi, the act of befriending and cultivating relationships, learning about sustainability and other healing modalities and also sewing. Other interests I have are, a fascination about sunrises/sunsets and moonrises/sets and although I have yet to see one, eclipses intrigue me too!

I look forward to working with you!
