About
Seventeen years of working with clients' bodies and minds has taught me something simple: relief isn't one-size-fits-all. What works for an athlete recovering from injury feels completely different from what a senior needs, or someone just looking to shed the weight of stress they've been carrying. That's why I've spent nearly two decades learning how to listen—to your body, to what you tell me, and to what the tension itself is asking for.
I trained at the National Holistic Institute in Santa Rosa, and I've been practicing here in downtown San Luis Obispo ever since, building a practice rooted in respect, clear communication, and real care. My studio is a quiet, clean, peaceful space where you can fully unwind. Every session is shaped around what you need that day—whether that's deep therapeutic work, gentle restorative touch, or something in between.
I work with hot stones and CBD oil to enhance circulation and ease muscular tension. I blend acupressure, trigger point release, myofascial work, shiatsu, and other techniques with something harder to name: an intuitive, grounded presence. The goal isn't to rush through your body; it's to create space where tension can actually release, where you feel seen and safe.
I'm proud to offer a genuinely welcoming space for gay men and all clients, grounded in non-discriminatory care and professionalism. I work with athletes, people recovering from injury, seniors, and anyone seeking rest. Your comfort, privacy, and dignity matter. I'm also serving the broader San Luis Obispo area and surrounding regions through mobile appointments, bringing that same quality of care to your home.
