How did we get here?

With a diverse background in ceramic art, education, and hospice care, I bring intuitive skill and deep empathy to supporting clients, particularly those healing from grief or trauma.

Fascinated by the mind-body connection, I began my massage therapy journey in the mid-1990s before pursuing a career in art education and ceramic sculpture. After retiring as an Emeritus Professor of Fine Art in 2021, I returned to bodywork, inspired by the caregiving demands of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Having worked with hundreds of clients, I see massage therapy as a dynamic dialogue—combining attentive listening with skilled techniques to create sessions uniquely tailored to each individual.

  • No, the techniques I engage with are meant to be pain free for my clients, while still targeting chronic tension in muscles that lie far below the body's surface. Deep muscle techniques involve slow strokes, direct pressure or friction movements that go across the muscle grain.

  • During myofascial release therapy, the therapist applies light pressure by hand to find myofascial areas that feel stiff instead of elastic and movable. These stiff areas, or trigger points, are thought to limit muscle and joint movements, which can play a part in widespread muscle pain.

  • ~ It’s me circa the 1992. I relocated to San Francisco in 1991 to begin an art career in San Francisco. While working towards my MFA in Fine Art from Mills College, began experimenting with performance art. The pieces was called ‘Job Security’, where I would set up desks on Market Street at Post and fold each page of the San Francisco yellow pages (A-L) to create ‘Products from Meditation’.
