About
Fifteen years of hands-on work in the Austin massage community has taught me something simple but profound: every body has its own language, and learning to listen is everything.
I came to this work through deep training in multiple modalities. I studied Esalen massage, trigger point release, myofascial work, and the subtle arts of Cranio-sacral Therapy, Polarity Therapy, and Reiki. That range of techniques means I'm not locked into one approach. Instead, I use all the tools in my bag to meet you exactly where you are in the moment—whether you're carrying tension that needs strong, steady pressure, or you need something gentler to help your nervous system reset and rebalance.
My studio sits in south Austin (78745) with easy parking right out front, candles burning, organic oils warming the air. I've built this space to feel safe and private—a place where you can actually let go. I work with clients managing chronic pain, athletes pushing their bodies, people recovering from injury, and folks who simply need relief from stress. Whatever brings you to the table, you're in good hands. I welcome all members of the LGBTQ+ community and every person walking through that door.
The goal isn't just to feel better in the moment, though that matters. It's to create lasting shifts—to help your body remember what ease feels like.
