About Me

I have been a bodyworker for 20 years; a big chunk of my training and experience has been working with structure through orthopedic/sports massage, myofascial release and precision neuromuscular therapy; another large part has been with biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST).

My quality of touch is a mix of seeming opposites: specific and spacious, firm and gentle, with an underlying connection to stillness.

I enjoy listening for what wants to be expressed through the tissues and tending to areas that often get over-looked. I address multiple layers of the system to bring more ease, alignment, groundedness, centeredness, and fluidity.

I like to incorporate BCST into every session. I also love offering BCST as a way to invite deep rest, to be with emotions and traumas held in the body (facilitating sensation-based expression of them), and to bring the nervous system into a more relaxed, baseline operating state.

I invite people who want to transform or want support in a current transformational process where they are really curious about exploring their edges, their emotions, and how their bodies and the way they show up in the world are affected by their thoughts, emotions, perceptions and fears.

I want to work with people who are willing to slow down and deeply notice and feel what it is like to be in this world and be seen.

“When we slow down, when there is a very palpable feeling of interconnectedness and presence, I feel this is a very potent and transformational space, and is the space I wish to create with you.”


Originally from Colorado Springs, I lived in the Boulder area off and on (mostly on) from 2005-2021.  During that time I also obtained massage licenses and lived briefly in Jacksonville, Fl and Fairfield, IA.  Near the end of 2021 I moved to Brookings, Oregon and obtained an Oregon massage license.  Now, in 2026, I am back in Boulder!

I enjoy dancing freely and creatively, contact improv, meditating, slack-lining, tree-climbing, walking barefoot, and other activities that allow me to explore the human body and its potentials.

 

In addition to massage and craniosacral therapy, I have practiced and studied Transcendental Meditation, the Field of Awakening group practice, and Radical Aliveness group process.  I love being in group spaces that allow the group field and wisdom to guide and inform. 

I also offer space, one on one, to “Be” in the mystery and magic of the present moment, relationally.   What’s it like to be here now, with another?  What feelings, sensations and emotions are present?  What is arising from the depths to be expressed, seen, heard and felt?

This is about being with and listening to our inherent wisdom and putting a spot light on the relational field.  This session is listed under Inherent Wisdom/Intuitive Field/Subtle Awareness Exploratory Dive.
