When I began my massage therapy training, I dreamed of using my skills to help ease acute and chronic pain, facilitate recovery from injury, and promote wellness. Upon graduation, I began working among a talented cohort of massage therapists who did just that, and I became known for my attention to detail, patient work, and gentle strength. In addition to core education in Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, chair, and sports massage, in my 20 years of practice, I have pursued advanced trainings with gifted teachers in eastern and western modalities, including yoga instruction, Thai yoga bodywork, myofascial release, and oncology massage.

Regular yoga practice has been critical to my well being, and in order to share the benefits of yoga with massage clients and others, I completed several teacher trainings with Tom Gillette, Shiva Rea, and Loren Fishman, MD and continue to pursue trainings in the therapeutic use of yoga. 

In 2007, I earned a bachelor of arts at Wellesley College and in 2011 earned a master of fine arts at the Rhode Island School of Design. 

I maintain licensure in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and board certification with the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). I am a certified member of Associated Massage and Bodywork (ABMP), and a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance.
