Originally from Indiana, I spent my early 20's clarifying my professional calling and seeking a place that I could call home. Always drawn to the fascinating world of human psychology, with a strong interest in understanding " how we become who we are", I graduated from Antioch College in 1997 with my BA in psychology. My undergraduate education and personal experience as a client of various styles of therapy gave rise to my curiosity about how the body fit in with more traditional psychology.
I began to envision a career that allowed me to be with people in way that encouraged body, mind and heart all joining together towards healing and deepening one's inner exploration & growth. My professional journey of discovery took me to the Boulder College of Massage Therapy, where I graduated in 1999 as a Certified Massage Therapist.
I then spent the next 12 years practicing massage and bodywork in various settings: private practice, premier day spas, chiropractor's offices as well as opening a massage business for a busy mountain guiding operation.

Services
This highly collaborative therapeutic modality incorporates hands-on work in the form of massage, structural work, movement and body awareness.
Clients generally remained clothed for these sessions.
With this style of bodywork, mindfulness is a key ingredient.
Mindfulness, as used in this setting, is "assisted self study": we take the time to simply allow & study the client's experience before we "do" anything about it.
We slow down, as I blend touch and verbal dialogue, so that we can explore what is being expressed in the body through sensation & felt experience.
