Story

I am a holistic practitioner that offers Therapeutic Massage, and Polarity Realization Therapy, which is a gentle yet powerful form of energetic bodywork. My modalities range from the deep pressure of my forearms and elbows, as well as gentle touch that is the weight of a nickel.

I work on clients who come to me because of their muscle pain, joint pain, and chronic tension. I have clients that mainly seek bodywork to destress, or transcend their limiting thought patterns. My approach involves understanding where various ailments of both mind and body intersect. Above all, any session for any client involves helping them be in the here and now more fully and with more ease.

I bring knowledge of the mind-body connection to my work that I attained through my own self-healing. I needed to heal from the distress that I experienced throughout most of my twenties. I attribute my healing to receiving regular massage and polarity sessions, meditating, practicing yoga and incorporating the teachings of Eastern philosophy into my life. This personal success, three years of practice as a bodyworker and my recent advanced training in Polarity Therapy helps me to understand the structural, physiological and emotional causes of stress and pain. I am able to use this knowledge and experience to identify a client’s massage and polarity needs as well as provide suggestions for follow-up self-care. My work's aim is to both renew and empower each of my clients.

I am a 2012 Holistic Massage graduate at Spa Tech Institute in Westbrook, ME. Since 2013, I have been operating a private massage and polarity therapy practice and have also been employed at a local wellness spa. I completed a 330 hour program in advanced Polarity Therapy at Spa Tech in June of this year. My office is located in the heart of the Old Port. I also teach Polarity Yoga and introductory meditation classes in Portland and nearby locations.
