Tell us about your massage school and other trainings:
What bodywork are you currently studying?
I specialize in deep tissue and myofascial techniques, and continue investing in those skills regularly. I am very excited to delve further into ashiatsu during my time here! One of the great things about this field is that there is always more to learn.
What do you want people to know about their body?
What is your favorite system in the body?
I find it difficult to pick a favorite, in part because the systems are so beautifully interconnected. The body is a symphony composed of bone, muscle and neurons. Each system corresponds with the rest to make something greater than its parts. From the percussion of our beating heart to the woodwind quality of fluid and hormones rippling through our bodies, everything is synchronized to support our lived experience. Each piece is amazing on its own, but together it is truly a masterpiece!
What do you want people to know about health and wellness?
Today, science is validating what traditional practices have taught for thousands of years, and we have more tools than ever to nurture our body, mind and spirit. That’s exciting! But also, overwhelming. In this age of vast, easy knowledge we are constantly compelled to look outside of ourselves. Fortunately, we contain much of the same innate wisdom as our ancestors. What matters most is consistently showing up in ways that reflect our actual lives. Small, sustainable habits matter.
Self-Care Advice
Try to offer yourself the same grace, forgiveness, and radically honest—but loving—advice as you would a dear friend. Especially in hard moments. Ultimately, at the heart of “self-care” is our relationship with ourselves.
