My career in massage therapy began in 2019 at the New School for Massage in Chicago, IL. The training at New School focused on a strong foundation of Swedish and Thai massage, as well as introduced us to the basics of a wide array of other modalities including myofascial release, sports massage, deep tissue, and trigger point therapy. Since graduating, I have continued my education at Zen Shiatsu Chicago, as well as through the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professional educational platform, and hold certifications in Shiatsu, Gua Sha, and more. Before starting my private practice, I worked at spas and physical therapy clinics, and currently love to combine the best parts of each of those experiences into my practice. In 2024, I relocated to Ventura, California to be closer to family and all the beautiful things the West Coast has to offer.
Massage is very rewarding work to me. It feels great to be able to spend my time helping others, and I value my relationships with the people who let me work with them. Outside of massage therapy, I spend my time in my garden, playing drums, rock climbing, and making things.
