Beyond pain relief
Thoughtful, hands-on massage and bodywork for injuries, chronic tension, and movement patterns that feel stuck. Sessions are collaborative, unhurried, and built around attention.
Seven years working with many kinds of bodies.
For seven years, I’ve worked with people navigating injuries and surgery histories, chronic neck and shoulder tension, desk work, athletic training, stress, and age-related mobility concerns.
My work draws on thousands of hours of hands-on practice and ongoing study, including my fourth year in Marcello Palozzo’s five-year Human Movement Studies program. I meet each person according to their history, goals, and relationship to movement.
My background includes therapeutic massage, myofascial release, self-myofascial release, movement education, and hands-on work with athletes, active adults, chronic tension, pain, and injury histories. Sessions may draw from slow myofascial work, deeper pressure, stretching, traction, breath, movement, and guided attention depending on what is useful.
It all comes down to attention.
Recurring pain and tension are often part of a larger pattern: how you brace, breathe, move, recover, and adapt to stress or old injuries.
I combine massage, manual therapy, movement, and careful observation to notice what responds and help your body find more useful options.
I am not trying to fix your body. I am trying to help you understand it well enough that you can work with it more skillfully.
This work is most useful when you want relief and understanding.
You may be a good fit if...
- Massage, chiropractic, physical therapy, or exercise helped temporarily, but something still feels unresolved.
- You want to move, train, work, or rest with more confidence.
- You’re curious about patterns, not only symptoms.
- You value careful, collaborative work.
This may not be the right fit if...
- You want a predictable spa-massage routine.
- You want someone to fix the problem without your participation.
- You equate effective treatment with very firm, fast, or painful work.

What clients say.
Want more continuity?
The 4-Session Intensive combines three 75-minute bodywork sessions, self-release instruction, and one individualized movement session. It is available when you want a more structured way to follow what changes instead of starting over each visit.
Bodywork and movement practice pair well.
Alongside bodywork, I teach a weekly Tuesday class at Denver Movement School focused on strength, coordination, movement skill, and play.
Bodywork offers new information; movement gives it somewhere to go.

Is this massage?
Yes, but not a fixed routine. Sessions may also include movement, breath, sustained holds, guided attention, and retesting how something feels.
Is this physical therapy?
No. I don’t diagnose or provide physical therapy plans. This is therapeutic bodywork informed by manual therapy, movement practice, and hands-on experience.
What session length should I book?
I recommend 75 minutes for most first visits. It gives us time for your history, hands-on work, and reassessment without rushing. Sixty- and 90-minute individual sessions remain available.
Will it hurt?
It can be intense, but not so much that you brace against it. You should still be able to breathe, respond, and remain present.
Do I need to commit to multiple visits?
No. Begin with one individual session. If you later want more continuity, the optional 4-Session Intensive offers a structured next step.
Do you work with injuries or surgery history?
Yes, when bodywork is appropriate and your medical team has cleared it. Include relevant history on your intake form.
