With over a decade of experience in Fascial Stretch Therapy, Reiki, and Somatic Healing, I specialize in helping professionals and their families manage the physical and mental toll of high-stress lifestyles.

Whether you spend long hours at a desk, are constantly on the go, or carry the invisible load of running a household, stress accumulates in the body—manifesting as tension, stiffness, fatigue, chronic discomfort, or feeling stuck in reactive patterns.

My approach combines hands-on bodywork with somatic therapy techniques to help you feel more at ease, mobile, and present.

Through gentle movement, assisted stretching, and breathwork, we’ll release built-up tension, improve mobility, and regulate your nervous system—so you can move through life with greater comfort, balance, and freedom in your body.

As a Core Energetics practitioner-in-training, my work goes beyond physical relief. Your body holds onto stress, unprocessed emotions, and subconscious patterns—influencing how you move, breathe, and experience life.

Through a combination of bodywork, breath, movement, and guided awareness, we’ll not only ease physical discomfort but also create a deeper connection between your body, emotions, and mind.

If stress is taking a toll on your body, mind, or energy, a session can help you reset, release, and restore balance.

Book an appointment today—your body will thank you.
