My Approach

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist practicing out of the Well Within Collective in Columbus, OH. In my practice I use a range of techniques from myofascial release to deep tissue muscle and trigger point techniques to achieve a therapeutic massage depending on client preference, need and comfort. I am passionate about providing relief and comfort for working bodies. I am interested in knowing how your body moves throughout the day to assess your concerns from the root cause.

I also employ lymphatic drainage and cupping techniques upon client request to address sports and/or and chronic illness related conditions.

I believe in the application of massage as a health modality that has been used cross culturally for thousands of years and as it intersects with modern science and what we can diagnostically measure and discover through research. I believe in ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic principles that promote preventative healthcare as opposed to crisis centered health care while also implementing new practices that address functional manipulative medicine. I believe that massage therapy assists on a physiological & mechanical level as well as a spiritual level, I trust and advocate for my client’s engagement on this spectrum wherever they feel comfortable.

I believe in massage therapy not only as a vehicle for physical wellness but for personal growth and connection. One of the great benefits of massage is the experience of embodiment, I encourage massage therapy not only for physiological affect and pain management but for moving through a conscious experience of physically held emotions such as grief or for grounding in difficult times.
