I grew up in Spokane Valley in the 90s. I'm a middle child from a family of five. I now live in downtown Spokane with my boyfriend Andrew and our cat Maluca (it means 'naughty girl' in Spanish).
I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2018. A friend recommended I take a look into massage as a career after trying a few different jobs and not finding happiness. My passion has always been giving and helping others; massage was a perfect fit. I fell in love instantly. The human body is like an intricate puzzle that is different every time. I could treat a whole bunch of people for the same type of issue and it would present in a million different ways. I will never get bored!
While in massage school, I was introduced to a new type of bodywork called Structural Integration. Being a big fan of deep tissue massage, it drew me in its scientific approach to pain relief and strategic treatment of the body. After doing some research, I decided to return to school to become a Certified Structural Integrator and Structural Medicine Specialist. In May 2022, I will be attending /commuting to the Institute of Structural Medicine in Seattle, graduating in 2026.

For most of my adult life, I had wanted to become a massage therapist, but the universe had other plans! After a successful career in real estate and banking, I had a life-altering illness in 2015. It was from that experience I learned that sometimes our hardest times are really just the gateway to our greatest purpose!
During those years, I became very involved in learning about the value of integrating the holistic healing approach, and I realized that mind/body/spirit wellness could cure many things. I became a true advocate for Hippocrates' "let food be thy medicine" and completed a 750-hr certification program in Holistic Nutrition through an accredited college, but I ultimately knew my calling was more than just that. I enrolled in the American Institute of Clinical Massage (yay!), and after 20 years of wishing, finally became a massage therapist! Joy! I love it! I never want to do anything else :) The healing power of human touch can never be underestimated!
I offer relaxing massage therapy services but also other healing modalities as well including cupping, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, sound healing, pregnancy massage, and lymphatic drainage. In addition to massage, I am a lover of gatherings and rituals, so I also offer sound baths, guided meditations, and cacao ceremonies on the new moon! I am a perpetual student and always looking for new inspiration and ways to heal. In our fast-paced world where we are all on overdrive, it is my greatest joy to give a space for respite, healing, and rest to the mind, body, and soul.
Born and raised in the desert southwest, I have lived in the PNW for twenty years and could not imagine living anywhere else. For me, nothing is better than a cool, rainy mountain morning and the chance to be in nature through all of her beautiful seasons...it's truly a privilege to call this place home!
