I came to bodywork from a strong background in martial arts. Through T’ai Chi and Kung-Fu I learned to access the subtle language of the body, I accredit my tuned intuition and body mechanics to these studies in movement. I love to move and challenge my body. Martial arts are my first love, but I also enjoy dancing, yoga, biking, hiking and swimming, to name a few.
In 2002 I graduated from East West College of Healing arts, with a training focused in Deep Tissue, Sports and Integrative Massage. Since my training I have continued to expand my knowledge in bodywork through classes and workshops; even taking the opportunity to study Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand. My style of massage is deep, nurturing, intuitive and active.
After a couple years of working with several other talented LMTs, at the Barefoot Sage and Equilibria Massage and Skin Care, I set out to create a studio where Therapeutic Massage was the primary focus; where each massage session truly made a difference in the way your body functions and feels. In 2004, Dynamic Therapeutic Massage was born.
More recently, I have entered a whole new world, motherhood. Pregnancy, birth, and parenting have challenged my body (any my bodywork) in new, and exciting ways. My daughter has brought an amazing sweetness to my life, and I believe this comes through in my practice as well.
Modalities: Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Cupping Massage, Prenatal Massage, Trigger Point Therapy and Thai Massage.

I moved to Portland in 2001 after receiving my BA in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Cruz. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA but I consider Portland my real home. I live here for some of the same reasons many other people do, it’s close proximity to the mountains, the coast, the desert, and all the activities these places have to offer.
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, biking, camping, backpacking, swimming, reading, cooking and spending time with my beloved friends. It is my love of outdoor activities that inspired me to become a massage therapist. In 2000, while living in Telluride, Colorado I tore my ACL while snowboarding. The reconstructive surgery and the following six months of physical therapy taught me an invaluable lesson about what it is like to loose your mobility. Following the surgery I was in pain, depressed, frustrated and angry. It was a very tough journey both emotionally and physically. I could not have made that journey without one very special person, my Physical Therapist at Kaiser, Oakland. She made me feel safe, supported and motivated to do the hard work necessary to regain my mobility and strength. Her role in my life was inspirational.
In 2005 I graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts. My goal is to help people regain optimal function of their bodies and to help them tune into the mind-body connection. I would describe my style of massage as deep, therapeutic, focused and thoughtful. I combine deep tissue techniques with sports massage which I find to be, not only very effective, but also very relaxing and pleasurable.
Whether you have specific areas that need focused work or you just want to relax and reconnect with your body, I encourage you to begin the healing process by receiving massage at Dynamic Therapeutic Massage.

Though a Wyoming native, I made Portland my home in 2003 to study massage therapy at East West College of the Healing Arts. I've had the opportunity to study Deep Tissue, Acupressure, and Swedish Massage under a number of talented instructors.
Being a massage therapist has given me the opportunity to learn about the mind-body relationship, and the importance of always striving to be mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy. As of 2007, I'm also a full-time student at NCNM — the National College of Natural Medicine — where I'm studying (hard) to become a naturopathic physician.
I am continually amazed how the body works, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge to help others heal themselves. I'm excited to be a part of Dynamic and I look forward to working with you in this caring and nurturing environment.
