I am currently practicing out of a private studio in Coventry, CT (MT #11281).​
​
In my body work practice I use high quality oils and handmade herbal preparations throughout my sessions. I prioritize creating an inviting, sensory sensitive atmosphere in the studio.
​
I do not upcharge for the inclusions of therapeutic tools and specialized techniques.
Infrared light therapy, body & facial cupping, gua sha, heat applications (hot stone, hot towels), deep tissue/myofascial, aromatherapy, and craniosacral therapy are woven into sessions at no additional cost (topical herbals and complementary custom tea are included into signature experiences). ​​​

My massage style reflects a holistic perspective that is less about orienting to dysfunction but rather enhancing the innate organization and vitality of the body. All of my massage is individually tailored to meet your intentions and goals while incorporating any of the techniques within my toolkit. This structure allows us to craft a session unique to your needs of the day-whether that is seeking calm, recovering from an injury or seeking pain relief. I adapt pressure to client's tissue and nervous system response, typically offering firm consistent pressure within a rhythmic flow to elicit tissue change and relaxation. Finesse over force is my strategy. Therapeutic massage supports circulation, lymphatic & immune health, improved flexibility, range of motion, better sleep, lifted mood, and mind body integration.

Integrative Craniosacral Therapy
​
Bridging biodynamic and mechanical approaches, integrative craniosacral therapy is intended to nourish and bring presence to the body's innate health by attuning to the rhythm of its fluid systems. Based in osteopathy, gentle contact points are made across the body but focus on the bones pelvis, spine, and cranium to facilitate release of restrictions to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. By attuning to this vital pulse, the body is encouraged to self correct and the brain and associated channels are able to be bathed in essential nutrients which supports whole body health and coherence. Clients often come for support through personal development (to facilitate change in nervous system patterns), to connect with their inner world, or for restorative touch when in a time of depletion or recovery. This work also suits those who have a challenge that need a holistic approach (chronic pain, sleep issues, TMJ, headache, immune health).
​
From The Upledger Institute: CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.”
I perceive these waters of the body like any that exist in nature–observing that there are channels, tides, and varying amplitudes of waves. The components of cerebrospinal fluid are adjacent to that of ocean water, where all of life began. By attuning to these rhythms, listening to the body and reestablishing symmetrical flow, we are returning to self and remembering our nature by circulating this ancient wisdom. Remembering that while the body holds memory of our experiences, it also keeps an innate blueprint of vitality and wisdom that knows how to heal. CST offers a deep state of rest and quietude that allows this map to surface. This session allows the recipient to be fully clothed.​

​
A treatment that combines the grounding effect of massage with the transportive quality of craniosacral, offering an opportunity to regulate the nervous system. Signature therapeutic massage (including any incorporations i.e. cups, stones) combined with custom aromatherapy ($+10) and craniosacral/energy therapy techniques. This treatment is designed to address mind-body connection. Aromatics interact directly with the limbic system of the brain to support a shift in state of being. Intentions may be to reduce pain, improve resilience, and support mental clarity. Particularly helpful for headache/migraine, TMJ, stress + tension.
