I came to this work through my own body and an endless curiosity about what's under the surface of things.

Years ago, a period of injury and chronic pain changed the way I understood health, movement, and what it means to live inside a body that no longer feels reliable. What began as a search for relief became a much deeper education — not only in techniques and information, but ultimately a different way of knowing and relating with myself and the world.

That experience deeply shapes how I practice.

It’s part of why I’m patient with complexity. Why I look beyond isolated symptoms toward larger patterns. Why I care as much about how someone breathes, moves, and experiences themselves as I do about where something hurts.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve studied and worked across a wide range of disciplines including Structural Integration, massage, Chinese medicine, craniosacral and visceral approaches, movement, herbalism, nutrition/food, and nervous system-oriented care. I continue to study because no single modality or point of view fully explains our experience, and no two people arrive with the same story.

What matters most to me is learning to listen deeply — to the person in front of me, to the patterns the body has developed, and to what may actually help create meaningful change, trusting the person’s remarkable capacity and the body's innate intelligence to grow and transform when given the right support, environment and permission.
