Overview

My massage journey started as a child, growing up a concert pianist, I played music for over 30 years. This has led my hands to be ultra sensitive, strong, compassionate and healing. They have been described as medicine hands. Much like I feel the music, I also feel the body and where the tension lies. This deep intuitive sense along with over 1500 hours of training in sports massage, therapeutic bodywork, meditation, and relaxation techniques means I not only can... feel where to go, but my knowledge helps me know exactly where to look and the techniques necessary to unwind the body and help it feel better.
Practicing in Pacific Grove, CA, for over 22 years, I’m recognized in my community as an advanced bodyworker with a deep passion for massage and fitness. I’m known for blending these skills into my own unique style, where no two massages are ever quite the same.
My approach to bodywork is all about listening—genuinely tuning into each client and their body’s needs, rather than just following a routine. I believe every session should be a unique experience, tailored to what you need in that moment to help you transform and heal. It’s not just about repeating the same techniques; it’s about connection, relaxation and a deeper healing for you.

I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your massages. For an hour every two weeks, I can forget about all my problems and sink into a blissful and utterly relaxing experience. You have been essential towards channeling my inner calm from all the stress I’m going thru at work. I always look forward to your outstanding service.

Thanks again for the massage. I’m feeling great and a little sore here and there. All good though! I’ll reach out in a couple weeks to book again!
