Philosophy
I used to live in New York City. The crowds, the noises, the ever constant hum of the street, and swirling of energy everywhere you go. My favorite days would be when it rained. Because on those days, everything slowed down and I could finally catch my breath.
​
We live in a world that is constantly spinning, constantly changing, constantly alive. And while that cycle can be thrilling, it can also be incredibly overwhelming. Our own expectations of ourselves, societies "rules" and limitation, financial struggles of living in this current climate...the list goes on and on. And all of this pressure weighs on us, chipping away a little bit of us at a time.
​
I started off as a fitness yoga instructor in a small gym. The class buzzed with excitement when we would really get moving, when they felt challenged physically, when the sweat poured from their foreheads. I found that while the physical exercise was beneficial, I would find myself longing to guide the class to find something more. To find their own moment to "catch their breath". That led me on a holistic path (which is much more in line with the origins of yoga to begin with).
​
My massage practice provides space for just that. Yes, we will work on your physical body, smoothing out sore muscles, providing rest. But my main focus for each session is to reach for something a little more. I strive to create a space where you can let go of more than just knots. My goal is to create a safe space, where you can release anything you are holding onto, and where through meditation, breathwork, and energy therapies, you can begin to slow down your own spinning world.
​
Come as you are. You are accepted. You are cherished. You are more than enough.
We will work within your abilities, your comfort level, and your financial limitations.
​
As one of my mentors used to say, "All you have to do is just breath".
