MY WELLNESS JOURNEY
I came to the field of massage therapy as the culmination of my love for recreation and need for self-care. As a dedicated snowboarder and former club athlete at the University of Colorado, I always found myself studying ways to support my wellbeing. When I began experiencing chronic pain of my own, I immersed myself in the world of massage and movement therapies. These modalities allowed me to rehabilitate and maintain my wellness.
In addition to my core studies in massage, restorative movement and yoga, I continue to receive other therapies to complement my understanding of the human form and the treatment pathways that are available for various conditions. These have included chiropractic, PT, structural bodywork (rolfing and Aston-patterning technique), pilates, weight lifting, various styles of yoga, and expressive dance therapy. Through these professional and personal experiences, I hope to offer you treatments and perspective for your unique needs.
