I really love a good story — and the human body has countless tales to spin. It is the alpha and omega of our very being-ness; it keeps the score and generally has the last laugh.

As a yoga teacher, I’m sometimes thanked by students who are amazed at their progress, and I gently remind them that it isn’t me or the yoga that’s responsible for their growth — it’s them. The same is true in massage therapy: the therapist is merely a navigator, shining light on the path. The client is the one who takes the brave step forward toward healing.

I completed the Ivy Tech Therapeutic Massage program in 2017, and I strive to meet each client exactly where they are on their journey — to help them realize their own potential for wellness.

Currently, I am in the process of becoming a therapist with a focus on trauma and the body, rooted in principles of somatic experience. I will complete my Master of Social Work (MSW) in 2026. My work continues to center the wisdom of the body — as both storyteller and site of healing.

In a past creative life, I worked as one half of an artistic duo. Our practice involved performance, video, travel, and storytelling. That work took me from Las Vegas to India, Thailand, Vietnam, Texas, North Carolina, and finally to New York City, before I eventually landed in Bloomington, Indiana.

These days, I live with my daughter, Minnie and two chihuahuas, Freddy and Bo, in a 100-year-old house at the end of a dead-end road in South Bloomington, right next to the Empire Quarry. We like long walks, horror movies, and watching animals on the internet..
