Both my mother and my grandmother had healing hands.  So the power of touch to communicate, nurture and soothe has always seemed second nature to me.  Oregon School of Massage qualified me to work with my hands in 1990.

Through practice, education, and consultation with my colleagues, and western and alternative physicians, the scope of my work continues to expand.  Reiki, reflexology, lymphatic drainage massage and therapeutic stretching are a few areas of study I have pursued. 

Over the years I’ve worked closely with clients to advance healing time for injuries and accidents. It’s been my privilege to see many women through their pregnancies.  Clients of all ages from children to seniors have  received relaxation and ease at my table. 

I love my work.

I came to the practice of bodywork fifteen years ago via a body-centered meditation practice called Vipassana or Insight Meditation.  My work is an extension of a body-centered awareness honed by a lively Zen practice.  My bodywork emphasis is in injury management, using orthopedic massage and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) to promote speedy injury recovery and neuromuscular rebalancing for acute and chronic muscular conditions.  Many clients come to me through referral for injury relief.  They often remain long past healing for ongoing muscular maintenance and pure and simple deep relaxation massage.

In practice as a massage therapist since 1985, my experience is wide and varied.  My primary focus is sports  massage from my personal long term involvement in the soccer community.  I continue to learn new techniques as life brings new challenges to friends, clients and myself.  I also have experience with pregnancy massage, deep tissue massage, end of life comfort massage, rehabilitative support massage and injury recovery massage.  My business practice at Innerweave is precious to me with colleagues giving and exchanging experience and  support.

When I was a girl, I massaged my little sisters' hands and feet to help with her cerebral palsy stiffness.  I always thought that I would be a physician.  However, it was my heart that lead me to pursue alternative medicine.  I was licensed as a massage therapist in 1989 and as an acupuncturist in 2000.  I find my passion in combining modalities like acupuncture, emotional freedom technique, massage and listening deeply.  It has been my privilege to work with clients who are healing accidents and illness, maintaining health and during pregnancies.

In the last few years, I felt the need to bring the benefits of acupuncture to under served groups.  That has led me to a mobile acupuncture practice that treats seniors at senior centers.  I am delighted to find a home at Innerweave, with colleagues who share my vision of peace and compassionate service.
