I love my work. I enjoy working with my clients to help them address some of the root causes of their pain and discomfort on all levels. I combine precise palpation skills with gentle, non-invasive touch and am able to use deeper techniques if needed. My main focus is to provide a safe, caring space to help while being sure to "do no harm". Much of my work involves supporting my clients to heal themselves on many levels, instead of imposing my ideas of what they "need" or "should be like". I have training in working on emotional and energetic levels and find this useful if healing involves release of deeper traumas. I am also sensitive to which level of work a person is comfortable with at any given time.

I have been a Licensed Massage Practitioner in the state of Washington since 1996, and a Vermont State Registered Massage Therapist since 2021. I graduated from the Brian Utting School of Massage (BUSOM) with 900 hours of training in 1996, and worked as a licensed massage therapist in Seattle WA until 2020. In November 2020, I moved to Vermont for family reasons, and opened my Vermont practice in Middlebury, VT in 2021.

I began working with CST in 1997, with Lymph Drainage in 2000, and with Visceral Manipulation in 2005. I have been trained and certified to work with lymphedema. I have worked with a wide range of clients, mainly with adults but also with children from 6 months through teens.

I have experience working with concussion, physical and emotional trauma, post-surgical issues, cancer survivors, autism spectrum, and lymphedema, as well as the ordinary everyday aches and pains from living, working, driving and playing.
