I am currently practicing out of a private studio in Coventry, CT (MT #11281).​
If you need assistance finding a time to schedule after seeing what's available on online booking, please contact me.
​
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 by considering lighting, fabrics, aromatics, and sound.
​
Infrared light therapy, cupping, therapeutic heat applications (hot stone, hot towels), integration of various techniques (deep tissue to craniosacral), aromatherapy & other topicals may be included at no additional cost.​

Similar to my other practices, my massage style reflects a holistic perspective that is less about orienting to dysfunction but about enhancing the innate organization and vitality of the body. An integrative massage is individually tailored to meet your intentions, preferences, health goals and conditions all 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 relaxation, recovering from an injury or seeking pain relief. I typically offer firm consistent pressure ranging from a seamless & fluid Swedish style to deep. Finesse of the tissue layers 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.

Craniosacral Therapy
60-75 minutes; $120
​(follow up sessions may be longer per practitioner discretion)
​
Informed by both biodynamic and mechanical perspective, this is a treatment to balance the nervous system. The intention of craniosacral therapy is to nourish, amplify, and bring presence to the body's innate rhythms. This supports the rebuilding or enhancement of a sense of coherence through body, mind, and spirit by attuning to both the energy centers and fluid systems.
​​
Craniosacral therapy is particularly well suited towards those with chronic pain, sleep challenges, emotional difficulties, stress & tension, connective tissue disorders, TMJ/headaches, migraines, and immune problems. Although one session alone is better than none, a series of at least 3 treatments is recommended as each builds upon each other for supporting the recalibration of the nervous system.
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.​
