I’ve always had an interest in helping. I think it all began when I mended a robin’s wing by making a mini-sling and nurturing it back to health as a child. I saw the magnitude that a tiny offering of help, service and assistance could make. This notion started to pour into many aspects of my life. I starting to sing and see the power of sound healing and performance art. I loved to change the energy of a space by anything I could do to help make it better and eventually, that transformed into massaging friends and family members and helping them feel better. There was no escape from the impact that touch therapy had on people in my life. It wasn’t long before friends and family members were asking me to massage their friends and family members, and before I knew it, I was moving into a career in massage therapy.

I graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts in 2010. I studied Thai, Shiatsu, Craniosacral and other modalities there and then gained experience by working part time in spas, chiropractic offices, healing centers and sports clinics all around Portland, Hillsboro and Beaverton, OR. These diverse massage environments helped me hone my skills in structural integration, Swedish massage and body realignment, which I continue to use today.

My true passion I found was in running my own business and working with people directly. In late 2011, I launched Earth Hands Massage, which has grown as I have over the years and continues to grow today. There is still so much more to learn, and to teach, and to experience, and to share and I am loving every step of the way. Working in the healing arts is a gift. My passion continues to grow through each and every session and I am grateful to everyone I am honored to meet.
