About Me

When I first studied holistic relaxation massage in Austin, Texas, in 2003, my training was imbued with a deep value and care for pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.  In 2014-15, while pregnant and during my first year postpartum, I completed a Master of Public Health at the University of Auckland.  Learning to engage with health issues through systems- and structural-level lenses, while navigating the transition into parenthood, was humbling, illuminating, and activating.  Massage therapy played a critical role in my postpartum care and recovery, and it is my heart’s wish to extend the same care to other parents now.

​

I welcome people of all gender identities into my clinic, and in alignment with my passion for maternal health advocacy, I have a particular interest in working with people who are embodying, or have embodied, the role of ‘Mother,’ for any period of time in their lives.

 

Seeking to extend and deepen my massage training and skills, I recently trained in Raynor Massage with Dave Taylor, and I am so excited to share this exceptional and systematic modality with clients now.
