Why do you do what you do: I’m drawn to the healing arts because these practices offer a way to co-create peace through presence, touch, care, and expression. Bodywork is a collaborative art of listening, an intentional practice of making space for rest and repair. In an era where time is constantly accelerating, the ability to slow down becomes not just a necessity but a deeply valued form of renewal.

Training/Specializations: Boulder College of Massage Therapy

Describe your massages in one sentence: My sessions are rooted in the balance of boundaries and flow, honoring structure, energy, and mutual respect, and often inviting the body to move like water and settle into the stillness of its own form.

What is The Art Of yoU/US? The Art Of yoU/US is an invitation into relationships, an evolving practice of self and shared care, where learning to create emerges not in isolation but through connection, art practices, and community.

What is your favorite self-massage practice? Swimming. The movement helps me regulate, soften, and return to my inner world through rhythm and breath.

Outside of the studio, what are you currently practicing? The stillness in scholarship. Learning deeper methods of reading and writing as a form of reflection and action. 

What are you currently OBSESSED with? The connection between sensations, memory, and metaphor. The art of sensing, interpreting, and integrating. 

What is the last great book you read? The Mists of Avalon.
