About me

 As a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Personal Trainer, I specialize in helping women move better, feel stronger, and heal faster. I blend advanced hands-on techniques from SomaTherapy and SomaTraining (Guy Voyer), functional movement and alignment strategies, and evidence-based certifications, including Body Ready Method PRO and Pregnancy Pain and Beyond. My unique approach supports women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and chronic pain—restoring balance and confidence in their bodies.

Why I Do This Work

I’ve lived this.
 
I’m a mom of two boys just twenty months apart, and I’ve healed from both a vaginal birth and an emergency C-section. I know firsthand what it means to recover while juggling kids, identity shifts, and a healing body.
 
Before this chapter, I was a trained dancer and Pilates/yoga instructor. I studied Exercise Science, got my massage license, and built a unique integrative system—a hybrid model that blends manual therapy, ELDOA™, movement, and scar recovery to help people finally get real results when nothing else has worked.

My Philosophy

You don’t need more surface-level care—you need someone who sees your whole story.
I bring an integrative, full-body lens to every session.
Whether we’re working on scar tissue, restoring pelvic floor strength, or easing chronic back pain, 
 

Who I Help

  • Pregnant & Postpartum Moms
  • People healing from orthopedic injuries or surgeries
  • Clients with pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic pain, or scar tissue issues
  • Women who feel like traditional therapy or training just didn’t “get it”

People I help often face physical and emotional challenges that require individualized care. I help them make sense of what they’re experiencing, understand their bodies better, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Outside the Treatments

I’m a beach-loving boy mom (x2), dog mama (x3), and lifelong dancer who just started moving again, and it’s brought joy right back into my body. I love hikes, summer days at the ocean, and teaching my kids that hard work and heart can carry you through anything.
