My observations of body work began as a student of Iyengar Yoga. An interest in understanding the musculoskeletal system led to study massage therapy. I practiced as an intern from November-May 2018 through certification at the Institute of Sanative Arts and have been licensed in the State of Michigan since June 2019.
My treatments often include a number of modalities including movement and stretching, aromatherapy, cupping, reiki, heat packs, trigger point therapy, lymphatic support or deeper fascial attention, as well as functional release. Our shared time is facilitated to accommodate individual sensitivities, preferences and adjustments as communicated. Hands on work (palpating) begins slowly with a gentle invitation to objectively direct awareness towards breathing and embodied senses. Observation is accompanied by therapeutic touch and possibly inhalative/ exhalative techniques to safely assist pacifying or moving energy as intuited. Breath work is always optional and approached with finer sensitivities that may offer ease and integration.
Client focused communication is encouraged as needed/ wanted. If self-advocating feels intimidating a hand may be raised to express discomfort and to pause or discontinue treatment. It is my aim to be attuned to your nervous system and to check in with your experience. An intake form completed prior to our time together is helpfully advisable and necessary before starting.
I intend to provide a trustworthy and compassionate service for all involved in our atmosphere at The Nest. I’m gladly here to practice peace, recovery, alignment and optimal wellness alongside you! Please feel welcome to email me with questions and inquiries.
