With over 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping clients achieve optimal physical well-being through highly personalized, technically precise massage therapy. My lifelong immersion in healing practices began under my father’s guidance, a chiropractor, instilling in me a profound foundational understanding of biomechanics and the body’s structural potential. My formal bodywork journey began in 2003, with internships with Olympic hopefuls and the refinement of my sports therapy skills with the UC Berkeley swim and water polo teams.
Through the lens of Biomechanical Sports Therapy, each session draws from Active Release Techniques, Somatics, Deep Tissue, Thai, Tui Na, Ashiatsu, Esalen, and LaStone Therapy, then adapts in real time to the needs of the individual athlete.
