I fell in love with Massage Therapy in 2001.  While attending the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB) in Pacific Beach, CA, I earned an Associate of Science degree in Holistic Health. This program enabled me to learn well beyond the amount of information needed to become a licensed Massage Therapist. I was lucky enough to expand my training into different  modalities, which currently season my massage sessions. Through all my extra studies, I found my interests were heavily directed toward energy work. In 2008, I started a 2 year program in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, through the Colorado School of Energies. My practice now consists mainly of eclectic Massage Therapy and Craniosarcal Therapy.

In addition to giving bodywork, I adore teaching others how to communicate with their loved ones through touch. I teach both Couples classes, as well as Infant Massage classes for parents/caregivers and their new babies. I truly believe in the solid bonding power of touch within relationships and families. I was officially trained in teaching Infant Massage Cominnication, through the Foundation For Healthy Family Living, in Sonoma CA in 2011.

I really enjoy working with adults as well as children and babies, as I am a mother of three myself!

I have been able to call Austin my "home", since 2004.
