Certified Massage Therapist

My path to massage therapy has never been just about relieving muscle tension—it's always been about helping people improve their quality of life.

Before becoming a massage therapist, I spent years working as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Activity Director, supporting older adults through some of life's most challenging and meaningful seasons. Those experiences taught me the importance of compassionate care, attentive listening, and treating every person as an individual rather than a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.

I later spent many years in the Trinity Alps, where a deep connection to nature shaped my appreciation for the body's remarkable ability to heal, adapt, and thrive when given the right support. That perspective continues to influence the peaceful, grounded environment I strive to create at Roots of Healing Massage.

As a graduate of the National Holistic Institute and a California Certified Massage Therapist, I bring a diverse toolbox of techniques to every session, including therapeutic massage, Shiatsu, Ashiatsu, myofascial techniques, stretching, joint mobilization, cupping, hot stones, and aromatherapy. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine, I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and preferences.

Many of my clients come to me seeking relief from chronic tension, shoulder discomfort, hip pain, stress, or the everyday aches that can interfere with enjoying life. Others simply need a space to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and recharge. Whatever brings you in, my goal is the same: to help you leave feeling better than when you arrived.

At Roots of Healing Massage, you don't need to know which technique is right for you—that's my job. Together, we'll identify what's most important to you and create a session designed to support your comfort, mobility, and overall well-being.

Whether you're seeking focused therapeutic work, exploring Ashiatsu for the first time, or simply making time for self-care, I look forward to being part of your wellness journey.
