Massage and healing touch is so integral to the wellness of a human being. I began by learning from my grandmother how to do massage at the age of four. It was a puzzle in figuring out what could help her feel better and a joy when a solution was found. The enjoyment and sense of purpose of helping others overcome pain and discomfort lead me to practice massage on my friends and family members and continue this journey today.
In 2013, I decided to resume my professional bodywork journey first through taking Chi Nei Tsang (Daoist Internal Organ Massage) classes with Gilles Marin at the Berkeley Chi Nei Tsang Institute and with Caryn Diel in the Southwest. Subsequently, I then ventured into the world of Ortho-bionomy (positional release), developed by Osteopath Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls at the Mckinnon Institute in Oakland, CA and SF School of Massage. From there, in early 2015, I enrolled in a 500 hour massage therapist program at the Mckinnon Institute, taking classes in Shiatsu, Acupressure, Deep Tissue, Swedish, and 150 hours of training in their course of Craniosacral Therapy (blend of Upledger and Hugh Milne’s work).
Other workshops I have taken with include:
SF School of Massage: Ortho-bionomy with Jim Berns

The goal of each session is to eliminate holding patterns and to promote optimal health and wellness.
