About Me

I work with individuals of all ages, addressing a wide range of challenges through a whole-person approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit. Currently, I am continuing my studies through the Upledger Institute, advancing toward certification.

I began my adult life as a teacher in San Francisco after completing my B.A. in Holistic Education, with a focus on the study of The Inner Child.

It was there that I continued to follow my passion for healing and transformation, which naturally led me to touch and the profound role it has played in my own life.

My aim is to be a source of trust, stability, and belonging as clients explore the subtle shifts within the body that can support profound and lasting change. Through a gentle and attentive presence, I strive to create a space where healing, growth, and greater connection to oneself can unfold naturally.
