Years ago I started hiking and it eventually grew into trail running and then into running ultra-marathons but in the process I’ve had some setbacks and injuries. I searched for ways to overcome some of those setbacks and injuries and came across massage and learned about the benefits and ways of using massage to help recover, I put massage into practice and was surprised with the results and have always wanted to learn more.

 In 2016 I was laid off and went from being an analyst to unemployed and used that setback as an opportunity to become a massage therapist. If it didn’t work out, at least I could learn about the body, its muscles, movements and functions and maybe apply them in my running. I started school with Healing Hands School of Holistic Health and became a Holistic Health Practitioner and began working as a California licensed massage therapist since 2018. The most rewarding part of being a massage therapist is being able to help people, some just want to relax, some deal with pain or some just looking for help in recovering. Whatever the reason, being able to see a change in the body, its tissues, muscles and fascia is pretty incredible. I love being a massage therapist and use my own intuition to apply methods that I feel are affective to read and work with the body in my own unique way.
