The quest for health and fitness has been my primary focus over the last decade. It has been through my own life experience that I feel inspired to help others on their way to optimal health.My daily experience of living in an unhealthy body was the catalyst for me to educate myself and change the patterns that kept me at less than my best. It is from knowledge that that I chose to educate others and hopefully bring a compassionate understanding that we all begin at the beginning, and that ultimately, our potential is limitless.

Over the last 10 years that I have been a bodyworker in Portland I have developed a private practice that specializes in medical massage, injury rehabilitation and performance enhancement. It’s rewarding and humbling to continually see my clients progress from what they were told were debilitating issues, to see them increase in skill, strength., athletic performance and to live pain-free lives.
Being an instructor for 7 years as an instructor at East West College was the catalyst in the development of my treatment-oriented techniques. It is my love of science that set the foundation for my treatment-oriented techniques.This common sense approach derived from anatomy specific techniques are effective and accessible for both the client and the therapist.

In my ongoing contact with both beginning and long-term practioners I realize how vital it is to expand upon those concepts with continuing education. Combining my interest and education in functional anatomy and physiology with the wide range of somatic needs I have seen in my practice, I have created bodywork education that is unique, efficient, and enjoyable for the students. In the classroom I make this information available to the students with my clear, direct and precise approach. You’ll learn new techniques and enhance your current style to take your practice to a new level.
