About
Cypress Health Institute in Santa Cruz gave me the foundation to really understand how the body holds tension and what it takes to release it. That was back in 2016, and I've spent the decade since learning what my hands can do for someone who's tired, sore, or just carrying too much stress.
I'm based in Watsonville, serving the area and surrounding California communities, and I've built my practice around one core belief: you deserve to feel safe and present during your massage. I blend Swedish technique with deep tissue pressure and Thai stretching, depending on what your body's telling me that day. Every session is full body, including your feet—because I've learned that's where people often store the most tension.
I travel frequently, so my schedule shifts, but when I'm working with clients, I bring the same setup: hot stones, hot towels, quality oils and lotion, and a playlist designed to help you drop into that calm space where real healing happens. I book the best hotel rooms I can find because the ambiance matters. You can feel it the moment you walk in. I'm present throughout—we can talk, or we can be quiet together. That's your call.
I've always taken cleanliness seriously, and I've strengthened those practices even more. Everything about this work matters to me, every aspect of it. If you have questions, text me. I appreciate your time, and I'm here to help you feel better.
