Hi! Nice to meet you. I’ve lived in the San Juan’s for over 20 years, having relocated from New Zealand. I love living here in the Pacific Northwest, and there is something particularly special about the San Juans.
I’m here to help facilitate in your healing journey. Perhaps you’re looking for a deeply relaxing treatment, a reset, nurture and nourishment, self care. Sore muscles, aches and pains, needing to de-stress?
I’ve always been a person who likes to be of service. It makes me happy to see my clientele receive what they are looking for.
We can discuss your desires and needs, and build a custom service specifically designed for you. Each of us is unique which means a unique treatment. Trained in Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic, Lomi Lomi, prenatal, couples (side by side), reiki, aromatherapy, hot stone massage, myofascial release, gua sha, sound healing, and more; we can incorporate any of these into a custom treatment.
Striving to create space and time for rejuvenation and renewal, utilizing techniques and methods to invigorate and soothe the body and mind, is my goal. CBD topical products are also an option, at no extra charge, just let me know if that’s something you would like added to your custom service.
I really enjoy working with deep relaxation, nurturing and restoring the nervous system, and returning to balance, homeostasis, and resonance.
I greatly look forward to meeting you and participating together, here’s to your health and happiness!

It is my delight and honor to serve you on your journey. I hope to provide for you a sanctuary of peace and rejuvenation, a place for your mind, body, and spirit to unwind and balance. I extend to you my deepest gratitude for making your health, happiness, and wellbeing a priority.
A little bit about my background: I earned my massage license in 2008, a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology with a focus in Health, Exercise Science, and Lifestyle Management in 2010 from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, and a Master of Science degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Institute for Clinical Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Honolulu, HI in 2016. In 2022, I graduated with my Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the Pacific College of Health Sciences. In 2024, I became a nationally registered emergency medical technician. Out of all of the classes I have taken over the years, the one that has had the most impact on my life was a tai chi elective. Professionally, I have been employed by a small therapeutic massage business specializing in rehabilitative therapy, by luxury spas, and by myself. I am passionate about teaching and regularly conduct tai chi and qigong classes. I have had the privilege of teaching kinesiology and pathology at the Friday Harbor School of Massage in the past.
In 2025-2026, I navigated a stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. I learned a great deal about healing during this experience, and it has changed everything about how I practice healing arts. I started my journey with a 30 day medically guided water fast that was followed up by a specific, GAPS diet based refeeding plan. I have been thriving ever since, even through chemotherapy and radiation. I completed the GAPS Practitioner training in July 2026 because I wanted to bring this powerful modality to my patients. I am restructuring my clinic into a nonprofit organization so that I can incorporate more community based programs into my offerings.
Please feel free to share with me any questions or thoughts- I will do my best to address them as thoroughly as possible.
