massage therapy is a powerful healing modality – a great way to care for your body and nervous system. we tune out of our bodies for a reason. our world is designed to take us away from ourselves, which makes it almost impossible to stay connected to and present with ourselves. it is smart of our bodies to find ways to survive and adapt to these hostile conditions, even if those adaptations sometimes cause pain or discomfort. in this context i see my work as an invitation to my come back to your body, to feel more at home. thats why i call my practice home|body.

i strongly believe that massage work is liberation work and i recognize that a person's experience in and of their body cannot be removed from the context of oppression and privilege. white supremacy, ableism, transphobia, and trauma are external factors that effect our internal experience and have an undeniable effect on our bodies and our nervous systems. i cannot undo that experience, but our work together can help mitigate the effects and lay the groundwork for increasing resilience, open up possibilities of embodiment, and foster more positive relationship(s) to yourself and others.

while massage is a physical modality of healing work, the benefits can go far beyond the physical body. massage can ease chronic depression and anxiety, help manage sleep issues, and even re-introduce safe and consensual touch after trauma. my particular style of massage is geared towards supporting your nervous system and, in turn, opening up possibility in your body. this might look like relief from chronic or acute pain, processing and releasing stuck emotions, or maybe just feeling more relaxed. i welcome these outcomes and many more.
