About

Certified Massage Therapist since late 2018.

Focused in Deep Tissue and Myofascial Therapy.

I like identifying goals with clients for increased range of motion in affected limbs, reduction of chronic pain, or bodily awareness.

Confidentiality is very important to me. I keep detailed notes about relevant health history and goals.

I take pathology very seriously. If a treatment is contraindicated, that is unsafe to perform on a client, I will explain why and suggest appropriate steps forward if something is outside of my scope of practice to weigh in on.

I do my best to help where I can and to be honest about what options a client may have, rather than say whatever will get someone to keep coming back to my table.

People in my life would consistently ask me to help with their pain.

My quality of touch is based on years of being the person in our family and within groups of friends and acquaintances that people would go to for help with pain.

During school and consistently in my five years of experience, I have been told that my quality of touch is exceptional, that I quickly assess bodily tension and solutions, and have heard consistently that I have offered the best care clients have received.

Access to pain relief for diverse bodies.

Here's EBHNTMI (enough but hopefully not too much information):

I'm transgender non-binary, asexual spectrum queer, polyamorous and kinky, a mild traumatic brain injury survivor, and a white passing mixed Japanese american weirdo.

It shouldn’t be a requirement for a professional to also be transgender to know how to provide affirming care and keep records with the correct name and gender regardless of billing information.

It shouldn’t be an assumption that everyone going in for touch therapy is neurotypical- no one should have to say to a provider twice that music during massage makes them anxious, or that they need music to calm down.

People seeking care shouldn’t become caught between the decision of returning to a service provider who has ignorantly made generalized statements about one’s ethnic or racial group, tell the provider not to add a side of microaggression to the service and hope the provider doesn’t become defensive, or having to find a new provider and hope the same thing doesn’t happen again. Is that not the opposite of therapy?

I can’t promise to never make mistakes, as a service provider, but the promise I make to my self every day is to treat people I encounter with the same thoughtfulness and sincerity that have helped me grow and survive as a body in this world.

Thank you for reading, and if you have any other questions, or would like to book with me, please reach out.

Text and email is easiest.

Take Care,
