Every session is slightly different depending on your body, your preferences, energy and lifestyle, and what effect you're hoping to get from our session. Some will be therapuetic, helping you to heal from injuries or strains... others will be to relax and unwind, sometimes you may want to restore your chi and be nurtured with eastern style techniques that incorporate healing energy work. I can play your traditional ambient spa music during the session, or if you prefer something a little groovier I'm to suggestions! :)
My qualifications, training and experience include 250 classroom hours at the Institute of Professional Practical Therapy and Santa Monica School of Massage. I have certifications in Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue, Acupressure, Pregnancy and Thai Massage. I completed all levels of Reiki Attunements through Master Teacher level. I formerly worked for Bacara Resort and Spa and now maintain a private practice in addition to my other career as a dress designer.
I love massage, massage and energy work feels nurturing, balancing, and healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. As a therapist giving massage is grounding and centering, allowing me to be joyfully present in the "here and now" during the session.
When I'm not working I love to travel, spend time with my friends and family, make regular trips to the mountains or beach with my dog Dutch, and see / listen to music - Lauryn Hill, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Erykah Badu, Sade, Bob Dylan, Norah Jones and India Arie are a few favorites...
