About Me

I want to empower you to live with the best well-being possible in your physical body. My approach to all my work is heart- and science-centered, and I firmly believe that health is for all people and all bodies.

I have over 28 years of holistic bodywork experience, including 14 years as a therapist employing massage and other bodywork modalities at Canyon Ranch, an internationally renowned wellness resort in Tucson. 

Since recognizing its importance to physical health, Postural Alignment Therapy has become an integral part of my toolkit. This has been the key that enhances my other skills and supports me in helping you feel your best.

I bring skill, my intuition, deep compassion, and a commitment to personal growth to all of my work.

My own journey and recovery from trauma has included both participating in and leading workshops on embodied intimacy. In that work, I expand my own understanding of the relationship between body, mind, and life satisfaction, and help others grow theirs.
