ethos

through my work, i aim to hold space and allow the body to tune into its innate healing processes. i believe that given the space to feel itself, the body can begin to heal itself. a lot of my work integrates more traditional swedish strokes with myofascial or connective tissue techniques, as well as, still work, such as craniosacral therapy and acupressure. as an athlete myself, i also have an extensive understanding of musculature and the inner workings and connections of pesky, specific injuries. while i offer deep, therapeutic pressure where needed, i generally tend to believe that less is more when it comes to effective healing. by allowing the body to rest, relax, and release itself, i find incredible results with a wide-array of bodies and conditions, letting the tissue guide me, rather than forcing it under my hands. patience is key to bringing back awareness and interoception, and ultimately, the goal is to do no harm and bring wellness back into the body. by listening to the body and responding to tissue, i intuitively pull from a vast bag of tools to offer it what it needs. all the while communicating verbally and attending to nonverbal cues to ensure you remain comfortable and in control.

 

i am honored to serve the flagstaff community as a conduit for self-healing and personal discovery. i believe there is no therapy as meaningful as intentional touch.
