Unlock Your Body's
Full Potential
For over 20 years, I have helped clients achieve optimal physical and mental well-being through personalized massage therapy. My bodywork journey began in 2003, when I interned with Olympic hopefuls and refined my skills with the UC Berkeley swim and water polo teams. This intensive sports therapy training, combined with a lifetime immersed in healing practices due to my chiropractor father, profoundly enhanced my understanding of biomechanics and the body's healing potential. I integrate diverse modalities—including Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Thai, Tui Na, Shiatsu, Esalen, and LaStone Therapy—to offer a unique style that addresses individual needs, whether for targeted relief, enhanced performance, or profound relaxation.

Western / SPORTs
Sports massage (Maintenance) is a proactive, consistent bodywork approach vital for athletes and active individuals. Through targeted techniques like deep tissue, somatic neuromuscular work, active or passive release movements, and myofascial release, it consistently addresses muscle tightness, knots, and imbalances, significantly preventing injury through consistent bodywork. Enhancing circulation facilitates faster recovery by flushing out metabolic waste products and delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to fatigued tissues. Regular sessions actively improve range of motion, crucial for optimal athletic performance and reducing the risk of strains and sprains. Ultimately, this ongoing care helps maintain muscle health, enabling sustained training, reduced soreness, and improved overall physical readiness.
Ideal for:
-
It's excellent for alleviating chronic muscle tension, knots, and general aches and pains, which includes delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) that occurs after exercise.
-
Tailored to athletes and active individuals, it helps prevent injuries, enhances performance, improves flexibility, and accelerates recovery from exertion and injury. It helps with conditions like muscle strains, tendonitis, and general post-workout recovery.
