About the Practitioner

*My philosophy is that massage should not have to be a luxury or something you do to "treat" yourself. It is just as essential as eating healthy, exercising enough, and changing the oil in your car. It's a part of self-maintenance and of course important to healing from injuries and ailments. Incorporating massage into your life (even if just once a month) will benefit your stress levels, body's strength and recovery, as well as provide preventative care.
*Since high school I have been renowned as a giving great shoulder rubs. When after graduating college and "lost" on what I want to be when I grow up, my Mother urged me to go to massage school. Turns out I'm pretty great it! I am fascinated by people, love to help and heal other, and the ever-changing complexities of the body will always keep me thirsty for learning more. Massage stimulates my brain, allows me to connect with people on a deeper level and teaches me how to take cae of myself better.
*I have more hobbies than room on this page, that range from deep ocean to the clouds in the sky, so I will stick to saying I am very athletic, and have specific adversities to snow, mountains and soccer balls. Traveling and far away cultures beckon my soul and my gypsy spirit will carry me away for months at a time, but have no fear, family and community always bring me home :). I have a separate travel-related business I'm trying to juggle with massage in Tahoe, and perhaps someday I can combine the two. Perhaps a traveling masseuse! Or a travel journalist-massage therapist-ethnographer type person, haha! Life is grand. Dream big and take of yourself and others.
