About Me
My Philosophy of Massage
I believe feeling good is for every body. Massage can create the conditions for that — not by forcing change, but by listening closely and responding gently.
Work that is body-responsive and deeply accepting can affirm what you’ve known all along: your experience is real, and it matters. Allowing space for your feelings physically as well as emotionally is at the heart of healing and is the base of acceptance, curiosity and a genuine sense of autonomy in your body.
That kind of grounded attention is at the heart of my practice, and so is creating a space where all bodies feel welcome. It’s important to me to say clearly that this is a place without fat phobia or trans phobia.
It matters to me that people of all sizes, genders, and backgrounds feel not just included, but comfortable and safe.
I drape every client with the same care and attention to comfort and modesty. I only expose the body part that I’m working on, always honoring your comfort level. I don’t offer breast massage or internal pelvic floor work. I name that here so you don’t have to wonder, and so that everyone can come in knowing exactly what to expect.
I’ve been practicing massage professionally for over a decade. I trained at the Northwest Academy for the Healing Arts in West Seattle, and my work has grown more intuitive, more inquisitive, and more grounded over time. My studio, which I built less than two years ago, is a clean, quiet space just one block from Sunset Hill Park in north Seattle. It’s designed specifically for massage, with soft light, HEPA filtering, heat and air conditioning, and a private attached bathroom. I use hypoallergenic cleaning supplies and the only scents you will detect are the occasional flowers from my garden. No one else uses the space but me and my clients.
There’s even a dedicated parking spot right out front, waiting for you.
If there’s a single thread running through my philosophy, it’s this: your body is not a problem to be solved. It’s something to come back to, listen to, connect to again, and care for — with patience, curiosity, and kindness. That’s the work I try to support, one session at a time.
