In 1998, I moved to Seattle from my birthplace of Sacramento, CA, to work as a software test engineer for Microsoft. After many geeky years of the sedentary, super-stressed life of a desk jockey, I left the technology industry in 2003 in pursuit of a more balanced relation within myself and with others.

My path eventually brought me to the Brian Utting School of Massage, whos mission was to develop outstanding massage practitioners with a deeper sense of their humanity. I graduated the 1000 hour/18 month program in 2008, as part of the last class to engage in the schools unique and effective curriculum.

As a computer fanatic, I'm familiar with the benefits of taking time to center ones self in their body; as well as the impact on our health when we don't.

As an aerial performer and movement enthusiast, I have gleaned insight into the injury, recovery, and body awareness in athletics.

My talents as an artist and musician have gifted me with a unique, flexible appreciation of the world, and the truths that reside within each of us as human beings.

Many things have brought me to massage, as I am sure many things have brought you here. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish together.
