Each client arrives at my office with unique needs. Some clients are looking to treat a specific muscular or structural dysfunction or pain while others seek support for relaxation and better sleep. That’s where the art comes in—designing a treatment that helps clients with their individual goals.
Prior to massage, I was building furniture, making sculpture, and painting—all of which required good body mechanics, body awareness, and a keen ability to focus. This training came in handy for massage too. Having received massage, I recognized the benefits and wanted to learn more. In many ways, it was a natural progression from the physical work and spiritual exploration I had already been doing.

I approach every massage with curiosity and invite that of my clients as well. What's going on in your body? What would you like to change? I first to listen carefully to the client's needs and experience, do some visual and manual assessment, and then develop a plan of action with that in mind. It's a collaborative and iterative process.

I began my training as an apprentice to Sean Hasey in his Portland office in 2014. My job is to give a great example of full body relaxation and to generally lounge around. When I'm not melting into the floor in the office, I enjoy my other job as chief ball and stick herder at the beach. If you'd rather I stay away from you, just ask. (P.S. I'm a dog)
