Whether you are visiting this beautiful island or fortunate enough to live here in paradise, I am honored to connect with you. I offer sessions to help you recover from traveling, jet lag, hiking, adventuring, and exploring the island so you can continue enjoying all this island has to offer. I offer luxurious wraps, scrubs, and healing treatments that leave you pampered, refreshed, and deeply relaxed.
Additionally, I assist people who want to lessen anxiety and discomfort brought on by trauma, scoliosis, and autoimmune diseases. I especially love working on new mothers and moms-to-be and specialize in prenatal and postpartum bodywork. Our bodies hold stories and experiences in tissues, fascia, and cells. Massage can help release what no longer serves you. Massage reminds the body how to relax deeply and let go. The journey towards health and wellness begins with a single step. Whether it's your first step or a well-traveled path, I am privileged to join you.
Welcome!
My Healing Journey
I feel so blessed to do my passion in paradise. After an autoimmune disease diagnosis at age 15 and many health issues, I found relief with a holistic chiropractor after my specialists said there was nothing more they could do for me. This led me to alternative healing, wellness, and an interest in holistic health and complementary medicine. I got my massage therapy certification from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 2000. I've been on a healing journey my whole life, and it's my passion to help others with theirs. I have worked in chiropractic offices in Colorado, big resorts and spas on Maui and O'ahu, and holistic wellness clinics in Austin, Texas. I have returned to the islands and practice here on the Big Island of Hawai'i. I use all my experience and knowledge to help clients on their wellness journeys.
An Integrative Approach
I aim to facilitate healing by integrating the body, heart, mind, and spirit. During a session, I use a combination of the techniques and modalities I've learned and continue to learn and add to my practice. I use a unique mix of lomi lomi, shiatsu (meridian acupressure), lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, MET (muscle energy technique), myofascial release, reflexology, pohaku (hot stone massage), craniosacral therapy, guided imagery, and mindfulness practices. I am certified in prenatal, postpartum and infant massage as well. I include energy work, such as Reiki, ARCH (ancient rainbow consciousness healing), healing touch, polarity, chakra balancing, angel healing technique, and sound bath healing using crystal and Tibetan bowls.
Deep Listening
I approach bodywork as a conversation. I attune myself to your specific needs and respond accordingly. I tune into your body and use the pressure, speed, flow, and techniques that benefit you most. I use a combination of external feeling to tune into your body and how it responds while listening internally to my intuition. During each session, I aim to tune in to your unique needs and goals so we can work together to bring back balance, health, wellness, deep relaxation, and a renewed sense of well-being.
