training as a high intensity athlete. This experience fascinated me by how far you can really push the body’s limits, but also showed me how equally important it is to take care of yourself to ensure that you may continue to perform at a high level while avoiding injury. During treatment I like to incorporate a lot of slow deep tissue work, sinking into and holding tender spots until a release is felt. I supplement that deep tissue work with a lot of flushing and clearing and spurts of relaxation to counterbalance. I also enjoy adding passive manipulation as well as active modalities to maximize each treatment. With the more intense techniques, a pressure scale will be explained and provided to ensure that we are working within your pain limits and not going beyond what is comfortable. My goal is to create a safe space for you to openly give me feedback about pressure and techniques so that we can tailor each treatment to fit your individual needs and comfort. I am a proud graduate from West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT). I enjoy living an active lifestyle that includes indoor bouldering, outdoor rock climbing, and lifting weights. I also enjoy making crystal jewelry in my spare time.
