About
Me
"Your biography becomes your biology. This biography includes the totality of your choices, the things you feed your body ~ your thoughts, your actions, your food ~ the things you feed your life." ~Caroline Myss
Helping You Move Freely, Live Fully
I have a deep passion for helping individuals achieve their optimal health and wellness goals. Whether you need gentle musculoskeletal alignment due to repetitive postural patterns, pain relief from an acute injury or chronic condition, stretching to ease tight and achy muscles, foundational movement exercises to improve range of motion, or nurturing touch to calm the nervous system from physical or emotional stressors—your treatment will be tailored to meet your unique needs. I often integrate a variety of techniques during a session, addressing not just the symptoms but the root cause, to facilitate lasting relief and well-being.
With over 20 years of experience in bodywork, I have had the privilege of working in some of the most beautiful and renowned wellness destinations, including The Bridges, Rancho Valencia, Terranea, Four Seasons, and L'Auberge in Del Mar. I’ve also worked in clinical settings alongside acupuncturists and chiropractors, allowing me to bridge the gap between therapeutic and holistic care.
Your health concerns matter, and my holistic approach is centered around building trust, promoting healing, and fostering long-term wellness. Each session is also an opportunity for you to learn more about your body’s incredible ability to heal and function optimally by releasing chronic tension and pain.
A Lifelong Commitment to Learning
I am dedicated to continuously expanding my knowledge through ongoing education in bodywork, mindfulness, energetic healing, nutrition, mobility, and self-growth. As the late Dr. Erik Dalton wisely said, “The truly educated never graduate.” I couldn’t agree more—nourishing my mind and giving from my heart is the key to abundance and a meaningful life.
Some of the specialized training I’ve completed includes:
John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR)
Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy (MAT)
Klose Training for Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
The International Professional School of Bodywork
Pacific College of Oriental Medicine
Esalen Institute
Paul Kelly’s Physiokinetix Training
A Holistic Approach to Wellness
Beyond bodywork, I find joy in traveling, camping, attending retreats, reading, dancing, live music, hiking, and beach days with my puppy, Franklin. I believe in practicing what I encourage for my patients—staying active, eating well, and caring for my body, mind, and spirit. With aging, it’s essential to prevent muscles and joints from becoming dehydrated and restricted by staying mobile. As one of the most elite personal trainers I’ve worked with emphasizes, “Mobility, stability, power, and performance can progressively remove dysfunction while restoring proper movement patterns.”
In other words—get up, get outside, and move for life!
I’m here to support you with a holistic treatment approach that helps you move more freely, feel more vibrant, and experience lasting health benefits for your body, mind, and soul.
