About
I have been a licensed massage therapist since 1999 and a registered nurse since 2023. Prior to that I received a bachelors degree in Botany and crewed on tall ships. Through the years I have balanced my massage practice with owning and operating a sailing charter business and also as a homeschool parent of two. Our children have since entered public school, I completed a nursing program, and now I am enjoying more freedom to focus on clients that I see in my solo massage practice.
Although I have spent time working in spas, the bulk of my bodywork experience has been working with patients at a chiropractic clinic addressing acute and chronic issues. The best results are always achieved with clients who see our work together as a partnership.

Therapeutic massage is a drug free and non-invasive approach to wellness. |
I remember when I thought that receiving a massage was an indulgence! Now I know that the benefits have a very positive ripple effect through our whole lives. Massage is particularly effective at reducing stress, and by doing so can contribute to our good health in a myriad of ways including:
Massage and bodywork can also be helpful to:
- reducing anxiety
- improving sleep
- increasing our energy & decreasing fatigue
Massage and bodywork can also be helpful to:
- ease muscle pain and spasm
- increase circulation, pumping oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs
- relax & soften injured, tired, or overused muscles
- release endorphins, our body’s natural pain killers
- reduce depression and anxiety
