I'm a Northern Michigan native and have been a licensed massage therapist for 13 years. Over time, my approach has evolved around one guiding idea: your body doesn't need to be forced to change—it needs the right kind of support.

I believe working deeply doesn't have to mean working aggressively. Even deep tissue massage can be gentle, using a satisfying depth of pressure that respects your comfort without pushing into pain.

Alongside traditional Swedish and deep tissue massage, I incorporate specialized techniques such as DermoNeuroModulating (DNM), myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and muscle energy techniques. I may also recommend home care practices inspired by Ki-Hara Resistance Stretching and Essentrics to help support your progress between sessions.

Each appointment is collaborative and responsive to what’s important to you that day. Rather than following a set routine, I continually evaluate and adjust my approach based on your feedback and how your tissues respond.

If this approach resonates with you, I'd love to work together.
