My story
It’s so nice to meet you! I grew up in Middle Tennessee and now I’m honored to serve this community with my massage therapy practice. I spent many years on a mental and emotional healing journey, which eventually led me to a career as an LMT. I have discovered a calling to accompany other humans on their journey towards health and balance. I truly love what I do.
As a perpetual student, I continue to take classes to deepen my bodywork practice. My life also includes cuddles with my fur children, hot yoga, and plenty of time in nature.
My approach
My practice is: welcoming to all, safe, client-centered, queer affirming, trauma informed, nervous system informed, present, and intentional.
The framework of somatic-emotional connection informs what I do —my main emphasis is emotional safety and nervous system regulation. It is in this state of regulation that the body can begin to heal itself. I believe that when a client comes to a session, they are bringing their whole history with them: mental, emotional, and physical. I hold space for all parts of you - I encourage you to take up the space you need during sessions.
I take an integrated approach to massage therapy, meaning my sessions combine various techniques so that each session is unique to the needs and desires of the client. It’s not unusual for each session to be different from the last, depending on what your body is needing in the present moment. Sessions can be fully integrative, or specific modalities can be the focus of our time together. We will collaborate to craft a session that supports your highest therapeutic benefit.
