Licensed Massage Therapist and Yoga Teacher
I believe the body tells a story long before pain ever speaks out loud. My work is centered around listening to that story through movement, tension patterns, breath, posture, and the nervous system itself. I’m constantly studying the body and continuing my education so I can better support the people who walk through my door — whether they need deep therapeutic work, nervous system support, rest, mobility, or simply a place to let their guard down for a while.
At Medicine Hands, I don’t believe healing should be boxed into “add-on services.” These aren’t extras — they’re the tools, skills, and traditions I’ve gathered over years of study and hands-on practice. Every session is customized to the person on the table that day. Your body gets what it needs, not what fits neatly into a menu category.
Below are some of the modalities and approaches I may weave into your session depending on your goals, comfort level, and what your body is asking for.
