About

Sixteen years of hands-on practice in Oakland have taught me that real healing happens when a therapist listens first. I've worked with hundreds of clients, and what I've learned is that your body knows exactly what it needs — my job is to pay attention and deliver the right pressure, the right technique, at the right moment.

I'm trained in Swedish, deep tissue, and myofascial release. Each modality serves a purpose, and I blend them based on what your body is asking for. Some clients come in tight and need slow, sustained pressure to release deep muscle tension. Others need that flowing Swedish rhythm to settle their nervous system. I read the signals — the resistance, the breath, the way tissue responds — and adjust accordingly.

My studio in Oakland is designed for real relaxation. Private space, warm lighting, soothing music playing softly. I use aromatherapy, heat, comfortable towels. There's a private shower if you need it. The whole setup exists so that when you walk in, the world outside stays outside. You're held in a space where it's safe to let your guard down and let your body unwind.

I also offer meditation coaching for clients who want to deepen their practice beyond the massage itself. And if your schedule doesn't fit my posted hours — I'm flexible. Just text me.

I've been careful about health and safety for years. Fully vaccinated, boosted, and I take precautions seriously because your wellbeing matters to me. I'm also deeply committed to creating space where everyone feels welcome — all races, all sexual orientations, all gender expressions belong here.

You only have one body. Let me help you take care of it.
