About

Licensed Massage Therapist with over 27 years of professional experience. My current practice is focused exclusively on Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Craniosacral Balancing—gentle, hands-on therapies that support women’s health through calm, attentive care shaped by decades of clinical experience.

Over the years, my work has evolved toward simplicity and presence. Sessions emphasize careful listening and supportive, non-forcing touch that allows the body to settle and respond naturally. Work unfolds at an unhurried, comfortable pace, prioritizing ease and restoration rather than pressure.

Effective bodywork comes from calm responsiveness and respect for the body’s rhythms—not from force. My intention is to support restoration through steady, gentle care.

Sessions Offered

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

A gentle technique that supports lymphatic flow and helps reduce swelling and inflammation. Sessions are calming and restorative, often leaving clients feeling lighter, more comfortable, and deeply relaxed. This work is especially supportive during periods of recovery, fatigue, or when the body feels overloaded.

60 minutes — $130

60 minute blended session $145

Craniosacral Balancing

What This Work Is Like

Craniosacral balancing is a gentle, hands-on therapy that supports your nervous system. It is safe, non-invasive, and suitable for most people. It is not a massage; there is no oil or tissue manipulation, and you, the client, do not need to do anything. This approach ensures your comfort and provides a reassuring environment for healing.

The work follows subtle rhythms in the cerebrospinal fluid. I hold space that allows your body to pause and CSP to recalibrate. Your CSP can hold physical and emotional traumas, injuries, or other life stresses that can be encapsulated within that fluid. During your session, your nervous system may settle into a much calmer, even deep, restorative state where regulation and healing happen naturally. Many people notice a sense of ease, clarity, or deep rest, which is very different from the experience of massage.

During a craniosacral balancing session, you will lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table. I place my hands lightly on different parts of your body, feeling for subtle movements and rhythms, and allowing your natural healing processes to unfold. This gentle approach helps create a therapeutic environment where you can relax and respond to the treatment safely and effectively.
