I accept PIP claims and REGENCE insurance for Polarity and Craniosacral therapy. I offer superbills for any insurance I do not take.
Each session is custom designed to meet your unique needs at the time of your appointment. You do not need to know which modality you want to receive ahead of time.
Massage may be one aspect of what we do together but the intention behind the bodywork is what makes this different. All massage sessions begin with a somatic energetic check in which starts off the table. I can (but do not have to) combine multiple modalities weaving in craniosacral, polarity, guided visualizations in a form of body based hypnotherapy, reflexology and more.
My massage techniques offer therapeutic benefits for scar tissue, fascial release, nervous system support, injury treatment or body/mind wellness. I offer various levels of pressure but do not offer strictly deep tissue or sports massage. My sessions are intuitive, nurturing, relaxing and therapeutic.
Reflexology offers focused work on the hands, feet and/or ears.
Polarity can be combined with massage therapy or offered as a stand alone treatment. Polarity is a holistic form of body based energy work. Polarity includes energetic dialogue or somatic coaching and education, nutrition, accessible yoga-like exorcises that balance the chakras, craniosacral and nervous system balancing techniques and physical bodywork. The first part of the session is done in a chair or off-the table, and usually at least half or 3/4 of the session takes place on a massage table clothed.
Craniosacral therapy works with the bones and fluids of the cranium and spine, fascia or connective tissue, and the nervous system to restore balance and vitality to the entire being. It is gentle, non-invasive, and extremely effective for overall health and wellness.
Heal emotionally, physically, or energetically, remember your deepest longings and map a way there, launch a new project into the world, build a private practice, tap into your inner artist, change a habit, or transform an outdated pattern to allow new possibilities into your life.
Trained as a transformational life coach at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, I combine life experience and over 20 years of expertise with somatic energetic tools. These sessions are designed to offer clarity, support and accountability. All coaching sessions can be online or in person.
Body Mind Bridge Hypnotherapy works with both the conscious mind and the subconscious mind through guided visualizations and bodywork and can easily be combined with most other modalities. Dreamwork can be included, or can be offered as a stand alone session option for accessing various states of consciousness for the health and well being of your body, mind and soul. I do not typically journey on other peoples behalf, rather I educate and facilitate your own direct connection with your guides and allies. Sessions can be in person or over the phone or online.
Polarity Somatic Yoga is a group practice (although private sessions are also available) that engages the whole person physically mentally, emotionally and most of all energetically in a conscious exploration of embodiment.
Each practice ranges from gentle and subtle to vigorous depending on what you need, and is taught from a trauma informed lens. Guided movement meditations and thoughtful supportive cuing to music is offered throughout, in a way that is adaptable for any physical "limitations" (or invitations, as I like to call them).
The aim of this practice is threefold:
To befriend and inhabit our body with as much agency and self-awareness as possible.
To process the energy of our mind, emotions, and life that are stored in and affecting our physical experience and our overall health and well-being.
To organize and optimize our energy, and therefor our health, in a holistic exploratory way, while deeply listening to and honoring the intelligence of our bodymind organism.
These sessions and classes are offered in-person, online and on-demand. Group practice is especially potent as we amplify one another's intentions and and co-regulate one another's nervous systems.
In each class/session we will explore the sacred terrain of the body/mind/energy matrix through various combinations of adaptive Yoga Asana, guided visualization, free/intuitive movement, various exercises rooted in Cranioscral and Polarity Therapy and a variety of other somatic practices.
Both experienced movers and beginners, (especially individuals who may feel resistance to or are uncomfortable attending standard yoga or movement classes)
Mature young adults all the way through to elders (at this time group classes are not curated for children)
People recovering from injuries or chronic illness who are open to engaging the imagination and using mindfulness as a tool to enhance presence, embodiment and healing
Sensitive individuals who are looking for support with nervous system regulation
Yoga, meditation, healing arts practitioners or anyone interested in learning holistic energetic embodiment practices to enhance overall health and wellness
*At this time we are not wheelchair accessible for in-person classes/sessions and there are stairs to access the restroom
Support the school, podcast, blog, help us provide scholarships and sliding scale options, pay for a class, session, dream circle, or drop a blessing in the bucket. What goes around comes around! This is sacred reciprocity.
Everything begins as energy. Thoughts, emotions, and even physical imbalances have energetic roots. When energy is held, disrupted, or patterns itself in response to stress or trauma, it can eventually manifest in the body as tension, pain, or illness. By the time we feel a symptom, the original energetic disruption has often been present for quite some time.
Energy work offers a way to trace issues back to their source before they crystallize physically. When we learn to listen to our energy, and cultivate practices that help it move, balance, and integrate, we become more empowered to shift not only physical discomfort, but also emotional and mental patterns that keep us stuck.
In this way, energy work deepens and expands the benefits of bodywork. It supports your system in releasing the underlying patterns, whether emotional, neurological, or spiritual, that created the physical imbalance in the first place.
Without this deeper attention, the symptoms we "treat" may disappear temporarily but resurface elsewhere in another part of the body, or another area of our life. When we address the root energetically, we open the door to lasting change, healing, and even self-actualization.
I offer a blend of somatic and energetic modalities in a holistic format that honors the innate intelligence of your body and energy field. These sessions support your natural capacity to heal, restore balance, and reconnect with your embodied wisdom.

I began my professional healing practice in 2003 in L.A. where I studied energy based therapeutic massage, Craniosacral Unwinding and Polarity Therapy at the school of Integrative Psycho Structural Bodywork.
I have run a thriving private healing practice in Olympia, WA since 2006 (after relocating my practice from LA). I have given over ten thousand sessions blending therapeutic massage, polarity therapy, intuitive reading, craniosacral balancing, reflexology, hypnotherapy and life coaching both in person and online. Experience has been by far my greatest education.
As a healing arts practitioner I endeavor to deeply listen to my clients, holding space for the body, mind and soul to unwind. I offer a trauma informed approach to all.
My greatest joy is in witnessing and empowering my clients and students to tap into their innate healing capacity.
Each session is a co-creation. Through artful facilitation and deep listening, I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey.
I offer community pricing with sliding scale rates and encourage students to receive discounted sessions. Suggested rates are below. For packages of five sessions or more, I offer payment plans and additional discounts based on what is sustainable for you.
Receiving the work is an essential way to learn about the work and I would like to support your education in a sustainable way.
I honor and appreciate the investment students make in their own healing and learning, as well as in the school. I encourage you to use the student discount if you are actively enrolled in a program, have graduated from a program, or are taking multiple classes. It is important to receive the work and supervision that will help you grow.
I can also offer you a list of other advanced practitioners to receive sessions from as part of your learning.
