About Me

Skilled Neuromuscular Therapist & Intuitive Reiki Bodyworker providing Integrative Massage, Thai Yoga, Breath & Body™ Coaching, & Workshops in the Asheville/ WNC region & beyond... Currently licensed to practice Massage Therapy in NC + NY.

I was educated, trained, & initially licensed in the state of NY, which requires a minimum of 1,000 hrs. (twice the amount of other states) and passed the rigorous NY State Boards. Very proud to have graduated on the Dean's List at CUNY with a 4.0 gpa and Applied Science Associates Degree in Massage Therapy in 2016.

Began my private practice 12 years ago in the cute surf town of Rockaway Beach, New York City, and have since worked in a variety of environments including clinical, high end spas, and fitness clubs. Thousands of bodies later, I am still amazed and inspired by the human spirit! Respect to those who show true grit. I see you!

What sets me apart from most other so-called Neuromuscular Therapists- is that I have actually studied neuroscience at a college university. 

Registered member of the AMTA, and an attuned practitioner of the Usui Shiki Ryoho System of Reiki Healing since 2013. Prior to my studies in anatomy & physiology, kinesiology, pathology, etc. I studied yin/yang theory and dedicated 5 years of training in Southern Shaolin style (think Bruce Lee) martial arts, as well as instructing & mentoring students with the reputable Yee's Hung-ga International Kung Fu Association. (2006-2011)

Eastern philosophy & medicine have been integral to both my personal journey and my foundation for practice. Check out my Services for more...

I consider myself a trauma informed healthcare professional and above all - a kind human being. My approach to treatment is rooted in deep listening, empathy, & gratitude. I aim to embody those elements into every breath, every touch, every single movement and each session with clients, allowing for a safe & nurturing space to exhale- and let go. Relational safety and healthy boundaries are a top priority in my practice. 

I firmly believe that when we are able to release pain and fear, we can just as soon receive love & radiate joy. That- in theory, is thee quintessential mind-body-spirit connection. With intentional, consistent practice, healing is the ultimate flex; the purpose of life, the way to both inner and outer peace. This gift of empowerment is accessible to everyone; I am here to help facilitate.
