I was born and raised in the South Bay where the sunshine and ocean breeze shaped who I am today. Some of my happiest moments are spent RV-ing with my family, horseback riding with my daughter, taking our dogs for walks at the PV cliffs, and spending time with friends and family.

 

My path into bodywork grew from my own journey with chronic health challenges. Shortly after my 30th birthday in 2020, I experienced complete burnout, every system in my body was beginning to shut down. I was miserable in both body and mind, yet every medical test came back “normal.” I was told it was likely anxiety and advised to “try yoga and meditation.” But deep down, I knew something more was going on.

 

After more than a year of burn-out, I met a practitioner who changed everything. She taught me to listen to my body and honor its unique needs. Discovering that I am neurodivergent and hypermobile became a turning point. Suddenly, so many lifelong questions had answers. I realized that my body had been whispering to me all along, showing me signs I simply didn’t yet understand.

 

Like my connective tissue, I had spent much of my life stretching myself too far and beyond my limits, losing myself in the process. Later, after becoming a mom, I swung to the other extreme, becoming rigid and guarded in an attempt to protect myself and my daughter. Both ends of that spectrum brought their own challenges, and through it all, my body carried the story.

​

It took reaching a place of complete exhaustion for me to finally begin to heal. Healing, I’ve come to learn, isn’t a destination, but a lifelong journey—one that I now walk with gratitude and curiosity.

 

From 2021 to 2024, my focus became healing and understanding my body, my mind, and the intricate web that connects them. I became fascinated by fascia, the connective tissue that touches every cell of the body. If something as integral as fascia is irregular, how could that not affect everything else? The more I learned, the more I understood that no system works alone, the entire body is in constant communication, a living network of connection and intelligence.

 

That realization ignited something in me. I wanted to learn more, to understand the body not only as a system but as a story and to help others listen to theirs. My passion for the mind-body connection led me to IPSB and Life Energy Institute in Santa Monica, where I began my training in bodywork.

 

Through my studies in bodywork and exploring the deep connection between mind and body, I discovered my greatest strength: learning to trust my own body and intuition. My lifelong sensitivity to others, once something that felt overwhelming, has become a gift, a way to truly tune in, listen, and connect with those I work with.

 

It’s an honor to hold space for others as they find their own rhythm of healing. Each session is a shared journey rooted in presence, guided by intuition, and grounded in compassion. I’m deeply grateful to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your body, your peace, and your inner strength
