I completed my studies at Spa Tech Institute in Westbrook, Maine; where the therapeutic massage program was heavily influenced by energy work and intentional therapeutic touch. My time at Spa Tech not only equipped me with technical skills but also instilled in me a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection and the power of holistic healing.

I have completed specialized trainings in prenatal massage with Claire Marie Miller's Nurturing the Mother® Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage,  Leslie Stager's RN, LMT Mastering Pregnancy Massage and MotherTouch®  and Chula Linda's DFR Pregnancy, Labor Support and Postpartum Massage training. I also have also completed trainings in cupping therapy with Neuromuscular Cupping Therapy®

I am trained in the safe usage of the bodyCushion body support system which allows expectant patients and many others to receive bodywork while in a face down position. These are some of the benefits of using the bodyCushion support system: low back and pelvic pressure are alleviated, increased torso elevation and hip flexion, and improved hemodynamics (blood flow).

Nurtured Touch Massage and Bodywork, has been the outcome of years of dedicated learning and exploration in various modalities such as myofascial bodywork, traditional Thai/ Thai yoga bodywork, body stretching, reiki, lomi lomi, and muscle energy bodywork. Each session is rooted in intention; it is slow, deep and aims to activate the parasympathetic nervous system for deep relaxation and healing

I believe that taking time to care and nurture our bodies is essential for improving our quality of life. My hope is that every visit provides you the opportunity for change, growth and reset. I look forward to meeting you soon and invite you to take a moment to nurture yourself.
