Certified in Orthopedic Massage and Evaluation
Deep Tissue and Myofascial Focus
Sustained Deep Pressure Used with Specific Areas
Active and Passive Stretching
I have been practicing Clinical Massage Therapy in the Boston area since 2002. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado and my Massage Therapist certificate from Palmer Institute of Massage and Bodywork in Salem, MA. I am certified in Orthopedic Massage as well, which focuses on the assessment and treatment of orthopedic injuries.
While attending the University of Colorado, I suffered injuries from a 120-foot fall as the result of a rock climbing accident outside of Boulder. After undergoing eight months of intensive treatment including Physical and Massage Therapy, I was able to achieve a full recovery from my injuries, to the degree of completing a marathon and two triathlons to date. Realizing the incredible benefits of hands-on therapy through this experience, I decided to pursue a degree in Kinesiology and follow with a Massage Therapy Certification.
My unique style of bodywork utilizes a combination of Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue work, and Orthopedic Assessment. I focus my work on the treatment and prevention of acute and chronic pain due to injury, postural distortion and athletic training. I strongly believe in empowering my clients with the knowledge of why they are experiencing pain and how they can take an active role in its elimination as well as prevention.
My clients include professional triathletes, people who suffer from chronic pain, computer users with poor posture, and more generally people who are interested in maintaining healthy lifestyles. My goal is to use my talents in Massage Therapy to help people free themselves of pain so that they may enjoy their lives to the fullest.

Completed 500 hour yoga teacher training
I graduated from the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 2002, following completion of my B.A. in Anthropology from Ithaca College in 2000. I returned to my native Massachusetts in 2004, and have worked as a Massage Therapist in the Boston area since then.
My experience in massage therapy includes certification in Myofascial Release, advanced training in Orthopedic Massage, and completion of Level 1 Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I am also a certified yoga instructor, having completed Barbara Benagh’s 500 hour Art of Teaching course in 2006.
Over the years I have developed my style of bodywork into one that combines many techniques and modalities, and is strongly influenced by my active lifestyle (which now often involves my young son). As an outdoor enthusiast, yogi and health nut, I bring a blend of interests into my massage practice that allows me to work on a multitude of needs. I incorporate Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular, and Myofascial Release into my sessions.
Although I have given pre-natal massages for many years, I officially became certified in 2012 after completing a 32 hour intensive course with Carole Osborne (while pregnant myself!). I love working on pre and post-natal clients, and use a wonderful cushioning system that allows the client to lie face down, which feels truly amazing.
My goal is to help each and every client in their unique situation feel the best that they can from therapeutic massage.
**In the Summer of 2021, I shifted my practice towards seeing Pre and Post Natal clients only. I will continue to see a very small number of existing clients on a limited basis.**

Sports Massage and Orthopedic Assessment
Specific Deep Tissue work with Deep Pressure
Massage Cupping Certified
Therapist Assisted Stretching/Active Isolated Stretching
I was a competitive athlete throughout high school and into college, and I became interested in physical therapy and massage therapy after suffering two serious shoulder injuries. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and both my massage certificate and my Associate’s Degree in Massage from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy, in 2002.
During my massage training, I interned with the University of Colorado’s Athletic Department and Colorado’s Arena Football team, the Crush. During this clinical experience, I was exposed to a broad range of athletic injuries, including strained muscles, IT band syndrome, shin splints, dislocation and subluxation, and deep thigh bruising. Upon completion of my massage certificate program, I decided I wanted a better understanding of Sports and Orthopedic massage, which led me to pursue an Associate’s Degree and additional training in the treatment of sports injuries and orthopedic abnormalities.
My style of bodywork is a combination of deep tissue modalities, trigger point therapy, and sports massage. With these tools, I am able to treat postural deviation, chronic pain associated with postural deviation, and sports or recreational injury to help my clients get back on track with their health and wellness. My goals as a therapist are to assess, treat, and pass along knowledge to my clients. This allows my clients to understand the source of their pain and how they can play an active role in their recovery.

Pain Management and Rehabilitation Specialty
Certified in Hot Stone Therapies
Employs Hot/Cold Therapy to Treat Inflammation and Tension
Active Stretching with Self Care Guidance
I received my massage therapy certificate from the Cortiva Institute in Watertown in 2010, and have been practicing medical massage therapy in the Boston area since then. My past education has a multi-threaded path that included a Bachelor’s in Management from Boston College and and MFA in Interior Architecture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland. I am also certified in Geriatric Massage from the Day-Break Institute and certified in cupping as well.
Having grown up with a large amount of leg and back pain from growing over seven inches in one year I experienced a fractured vertebra. A recovery involved a torso brace for two years; a lack of stretching on my part as a teen created pain from a weak core and tight back muscles that plagued me for twenty years.
I had grown interested in the world of spa design during my study abroad and upon returning to the US I enrolled in a course for massage therapy to understand the environment of healing. The resulting journey of self-discovery and internal awareness through bodywork gave a me a new life without any pain – something I had not though ever possible. Since then I have used my background to combine different therapies to maximize that potential in clients to recover from their injuries.
I have a range of modalities that I use in concert: Hot Stone Therapy, Cryotherapy, Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Sports Therapy and Active Stretching to treat any number of injuries or conditions both injury-related or chronic. These techniques are equally efficient eliminating deep tension associated with the stress of daily life as well as traumatic events.
My clients usually include those suffering from migraines, arm related pain from professional work or sports, runners and tennis players, business owners and those that appreciate the enormous difference that regular massage has made in their lives.

Deep Tissue and Therapeutic Focus
Certified in Core Movement Integration
Extensive Experience in Neuromuscular, Trigger Point and Myofascial Therapies
I graduated from the Massage Institute of New England and have been working as a Bodyworker and Licensed Massage Therapist in the Boston area since 2006. My educational background also includes a B.A. in Communications from Northeastern University. Certifications include Deep Tissue Therapy, Clinical Massage Therapy and Core Movement Integration (CMI). My work can be described as intuitive, coming from anatomical understanding which I transmit through myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, trigger point work and relaxation techniques. A session with me may incorporate the use of CMI techniques* as well.
I found myself drawn to bodywork in the 1990’s through my exploration of the martial arts. Through many trips to herbal shops and acupuncturists in Chinatown, and from working through inevitable injuries attained through hours of training, my interest grew. My career at the time was as a field technician for an environmental consulting firm. Hard, long days in all of the weather that New England has to offer, and lifting heavy equipment for remediation systems, rewarded me with a back injury that still speaks to me occasionally to this day.
I enrolled with the Massage Institute of New England as a steppingstone to better understand the human system, as well as to learn more about improving my own health and well-being. Through this journey I learned that healthy movement habits, as well as hands-on treatments through massage and other bodywork modalities do really work.
I have brought myself out of physical crisis when my lower back has “gone out” through re-patterning exercises and with the help of trained practitioners. It is possible to live well through a discipline of self-care. My mission as a therapist is to provide my clients with bodywork that relieves their pain, as well as empowering them with the tools to enhance their well-being and health on their own.
*Core Movement Integration (CMI) is a modality expanding on the principles of Feldenkrais. Gentle, re-patterning exercises are used to lengthen the spine and musculature while engaging the brain to learn more efficient movements. This helps to reinforce positive movement pathways throughout the entire body, solidifying better habits and postural corrections which result in decreased pain and injury.
