I am a licensed massage therapist with training in therapeutic bodywork, mindfulness, and client-centered care. I hold a Master's of Science in Educational Research, which informs my commitment to evidence-informed practice, clinical reasoning and individualized treatment planning. For over 20 years I have practiced and taught Hatha yoga and meditation through the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction tradition (Jon Kabat-Zinn), supporting clients in reducing stress and improving body awareness. ​

My work specializes in nervous system regulation and the treatment of chronic muscular tension through slow precise myofascial Swedish techniques (Ian Harvey - Massage Sloth). I work with the understanding that the nervous system plays a central role in how the body holds and releases tension. Sessions are designed to support pain reduction, improve mobility, and promote relaxation in a safe and supportive environment. Additionally I am trained in Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy, a 5,000-year-old traditional system of holistic health. I am also a therapist at the Ayurvedic Health Retreat in Alachua under the guidance of experienced Ayurvedic practitioners.
