I approach massage therapy through a trauma-informed lens. My training in somatics, mindfulness and trauma-informed care have led me to develop an approach that I call Restorative Massage. This is not the same as relaxation massage, although it often has a relaxing effect, if that's needed. By supporting each client at the level of their nervous system and offering an individualized, whole human approach for each treatment, this approach facilitates increased self-awareness and embodiment, decreased pain and stress and improved function of the nervous, respiratory and musculo-skeletal systems of the body. This can be an important part of a recovery and wellness plan for a broad range of people. Please reach out if you have questions or read more on my website.

I offer mentorship to Massage Therapists, bodyworkers and other helping professionals and clinicians.
This work bridges personal and professional development with a focus on mitigating burnout, improving patient relationships and increasing a sense of meaning and purpose at work. Topics explored may include (but are not limited to) mindfulness, somatics, trauma-informed care and building a toolkit for tumultuous times.
