I have been a massage therapist since 2003. I received my training from the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley and the McKinnon Institute of Massage in Oakland. In addition to seeing private clients, I also teach massage and anatomy and physiology at National Holistic Institute in Emeryville.
	I approach bodywork from a deep sense of empathy for what each body, what each person needs. I believe there is incredible power in caring, intentioned touch.		I treat every client as a whole person: physical, emotional and mental, and tailor each session to your needs. Every body is beautiful in its complexity and deserves to be supported with kindness and skill.
		My background is in art, specifically anatomy and life drawing. I bring an appreciation of the beauty and complexity of each human body. Click here for a PDF version of my résumé. I am a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals and certified by the California Massage Therapy Council.
