Licensed Massage Therapist & Somatic Guide

Helping you return to your body gently, honestly, and with care.

I wasn’t always connected to my body…

Born and raised in New York, my journey into massage therapy began with pain: recurring low back injuries and waves of anxiety that left me feeling disconnected and out of sync with myself. Through chiropractic care, mindful movement, yoga, and meditative practices, I began to hear the wisdom of my body, and slowly return to a sense of inner harmony and self-love.

That return became the foundation for everything I offer now. And it continues to expand as I grow, evolve, and deepen in my own healing.

In 2014, I completed a 1,000-hour massage therapy program in Syracuse, NY, and became a Licensed Massage Therapist. I've practiced in Austin since 2022, where I’ve had the pleasure of building a reputation rooted in trust and attentive care.

Throughout the years, I’ve continued to study bodywork, movement, and nervous system healing: blending deep tissue, myofascial release, orthopedic and Swedish techniques with trauma-informed care and breath-centered presence.

My approach is both clinical and intuitive. I focus on postural imbalances, chronic pain, stress, and tension. But just as importantly, I aim to create an environment where your nervous system can downshift, soften and begin to repair itself.

Because when the body feels safe, it begins to heal.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Touch, as relationship.

Massage, to me, is not just physical. It’s relational. It’s about attunement, trust, and being deeply received. I believe safe, intentional touch offers more than relief from ‘knots’ or tension… It creates a space where your body can recalibrate, your mind can rest, and your whole system is gently reminded that it no longer needs to be in survival mode.

Whether you’re seeking physical relief or simply a space to breathe and reconnect, I’m here to support your return.

 FAQs

  • The frequency of massages can vary based on individual needs and goals. For general wellness and relaxation, it is often recommended to receive a massage once a month. Those with specific issues such as chronic pain or high-stress levels may benefit from more regular sessions, such as biweekly or weekly massages, to effectively manage their symptoms and promote recovery. Engaging in regular massage therapy not only alleviates tension and stress but also enhances overall well-being, making it beneficial for both physical and mental health. Always consult with a qualified massage therapist to determine the best schedule for your unique circumstances.

  • Massage therapy offers a multitude of benefits that enhance both physical and mental well-being. It effectively alleviates chronic pain and muscle tension, promoting relaxation and improved mobility. Regular sessions can reduce stress levels and anxiety, fostering a sense of calm and emotional balance. Additionally, massage therapy enhances circulation, boosts the immune system, and supports recovery from injuries. By addressing specific concerns through tailored techniques, it not only aids in pain relief but also contributes to overall health and vitality, encouraging a holistic approach to wellness.

  • Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It employs slower strokes and more intense pressure to relieve chronic tension and pain. This technique targets specific areas of discomfort to alleviate muscle adhesions (commonly referred to as 'knots') and improve overall mobility.

    Sports massage, on the other hand, is tailored for athletes and active individuals. It combines various massage techniques to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and expedite recovery. Sports massage can be applied before, during, or after physical activity, addressing specific muscle groups to optimize athletic function and promotes relaxation

    While both modalities have some differences in their approach, they both aim to relieve tension and enhance well-being.

  • Post-massage self-care is essential for maximizing the benefits of your treatment and promoting lasting relaxation. Consider taking time to hydrate; drinking water helps flush out toxins released during your session. Engage in gentle stretching or light movement to maintain flexibility and prevent muscle stiffness. Establish a calming environment at home—dim the lights, play soothing music, and perhaps indulge in a warm bath to enhance your relaxation. Prioritize rest and allow your body to recover, ensuring adequate sleep. Finally, reflect on your experience and cultivate mindfulness, tuning into your body’s needs and responses. By integrating these self-care practices, you can extend the healing effects of your massage and support your overall well-being.
