I am a 2010 graduate of the Port Townsend School of Massage, a Usui Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master Teacher and a BodyMind Bridge Practitioner. Attending massage school was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Combining massage with Reiki and the other modalities I have learned over the years allows me to fulfill my desire to have a positive impact on others’ lives.
It is so rewarding working with someone who was in extreme pain when they walked into my office and an hour later see a relaxed smile and hear, “I have no pain!” I love being a massage therapist!
Since graduating I have taken several continuing education classes. These have included John Barnes Myofascial Release I, Therapeutic Touch, Healing Stone Massage, PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), Cupping Therapy, and Craniosacral Therapy for Infants.
I draw from all of these modalities during a session to best meet the needs and goals of my clients.
I have made Port Townsend my home since 1980. My husband of 41 years and I have two adult children, and we love that we now hold the titles of Grandma and Grandpa.
In my free time I love being out in nature either hiking or bicycling. Every day I am filled with gratitude that I get to do work I love and live and play in such a beautiful place as Port Townsend.
