About
Seventeen years working with clients in Palm Springs has taught me that the right touch at the right moment can shift everything. I've spent nearly two decades learning how bodies hold tension, where trust lives in a massage session, and what it takes to make someone feel genuinely safe on the table.
I'm a California certified massage therapist (license #74810), trained at Brightwood in Palm Springs. My studio here is a warm, private space where anyone—regardless of age, body shape, gender identity, or sexual preference—can receive the healing work they need without judgment. That openness matters to me.
I offer two distinct approaches. My regular therapeutic massage draws on Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, reflexology, and other modalities to ease muscle soreness, build trust, and promote real relaxation. If you're looking for something more vigorous, I also provide a combination massage that weaves in Esalen, polarity therapy, and breathwork. This one uses techniques like ocean waves, encourages movement and sound, and leaves you feeling melted on the table.
Before your appointment, I ask that we exchange a few texts about what you're hoping for—what kind of experience you want, what your body needs. No surprises. Just a massage that matches your expectations with my experience and intuition, so you walk out feeling so much better than when you came in.
I serve Palm Springs and the surrounding areas, both in my studio and through mobile sessions. My hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.
