Medical massage takes many more hours of training than spa massage, and ideally years of real-world experience in a chiropractor's or physical therapist's office or a hospital. It is hands-on therapy for pre- and post-surgery care, injuries, repetitive use injuries, chronic pain, inflammation, and swelling. It helps manage pain, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, relieve nerve compression, increase pain-free range of motion, and return you to the things you do.
Post-surgical manual lymph drainage reduces swelling that causes tightness, strains sutures, and stretches scars. Scar tissue remediation can address internal or external scars, even long after surgery.
Tools: gua sha, cupping, heat, PEMF and lymph drainage tools. I'm a mobile therapist: I bring my table and tools to you. I need space for the table and a nearby outlet.
$350 for 90 minutes
Serving SF, Sonoma, Montecito, and LA. Portland: please contact me for rates.

Online or in person. The trippiest thing you'll ever do sober.
Magic Hour is like a medicine journey, but powered by the energy of your nervous system instead of any substance. A playlist takes you on a journey while your facilitator supports a powerful field of awareness and connection. It's a reset back to deeper connection with yourself and your life's path.
Each experience is different, but common shares include meeting ancestors, emotional releases from grief to ridiculous joy, sudden ideas and new perspectives, warmth, trembling, rhythmic movement of the spine, new ways of moving that scratch a somatic itch, chills, rising energy, a felt oneness with the earth, and a grounded, peaceful reset. There is no wrong way to do it, and it deepens each time. It's a psychospiritual somatic reunion that brings everything sacred into your body, not away from it.
What to bring: A yoga mat, water, and cozy clothes you can move in. Comfy and hydrated.
Length: 2 hours total: about 1 hour of diving, with time to settle and integrate.
Price: $50 per class | $200 private dive
Dates & sign up: Contact me for dates and times.

SE helps you learn to notice your body's experience, especially the survival responses of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Through exercises, facilitator interventions, and taught skills, you process outdated responses still living in your present. The opposite of overwhelm is titration, so sessions keep you within your window of tolerance. Over time you learn to process life as it happens, without needing to numb out or push feelings away.
SE is used for accidents, invasive medical procedures, assault, emotional abuse, neglect, war, natural disasters, loss, birth trauma, and the corrosive stress of ongoing fear and conflict.
What I value most about SE is its focus on the relational field and trust. A session is part relating as human animals, part slowing down to feel what's happening in your body, and part letting your system process what it holds. There is some talking, but it isn't talk therapy. Slowly, you learn to bring a felt sense of safety into real time.
Sessions are nearly identical in person or on Zoom.
$150 for 1 hour | $200 for 90 minutes

Medical massage is for anyone with a desire for world class bodywork.
Using somatics I have worked with many folks experiencing the stress of fame and performance. The specific experience of performing for large crowds or in high stakes environments can feel life or death to your nervous system. The other people working in these environments are not trauma informed and that can make it even more difficult. I help those folks be able to share their gifts with more ease and safety.
I also specialize in attachment trauma, helping clients heal the past and learn how satisfying secure relationship feels even if its foreign at first.
Chronic illness is a very specific experience and I help my clients with hands on care for symptoms and pain management, because of my dual focus we also can start to tenderly unveil what held trauma may be expressing as illness. With a new focus and care for what’s underneath, symptoms can lesson greatly.
If you wonder if we are a good match feel free reach out for a 15 min check in in at no cost. I’m happy to answer any of your questions. Who you do this work with matters and you should feel a green light.
About Me
I have been working in this field for 20+ years starting as a medical massage therapist focused on pain, injuries and chronic illness. As someone with a trauma history myself, I saw the pattern of my clients with chronic illness also having major trauma histories. Science caught up to this truth and now there are powerful ways to use the natural systems of the body/nervous system to unwind the held patterns that result from CPTSD and PTSD. Trauma is defined as an experience that is too much, too fast, too soon, or too much for too long for the nervous system and mind to process and integrate. Integration is the key to leaving it in the past. Having worked in NYC and LA I work with many actors and artists helping to process the effect and pressures of fame and performance that can often feel like an attack in the nervous system. The relational field is a deeply rich place that if held properly becomes its own source of healing especially when addressing attachment patterns that aren't working. My main wish for all of my clients is that they enjoy a deeply intimate relationship with their own sense of presence and that from that place they navigate the events of their lives with a greater capacity for joy. If you don’t experience that now it is not your fault. We are all a product of where we came from but it isn’t the last stop on the journey. Today is a starting place.
Professionally I’ve run classes, retreats and trainings in the US, Costa Rica and Mexico since 2020. In 2022 I ran an online weekend intensive that had over 1200 students joining world wide.

No you do not. That old saying “Your body keeps the score” means it’s all in there and we will work slowly and gently with what’s here now. What we won’t do is put you through the potentially retraumatizing experience of recalling it all with a stranger.

Using somatics to heal the effects of trauma is not a quick fix, but it is an extremely effective one. In my experience it took being committed to the practices that were helping for a few years. But in those years it was like I was releasing a pressure valve during each session. I became less reactive and life got better and better. The commitment became easy because I felt better after every session.

As a trans masculine nonbinary person I bring with me an understanding of the sexuality, religious and gender trauma that can come with a queer experience. I am an inclusive, LGBTQIA+ affirming practitioner. I often treat clients post surgery with pain management, regaining sensation, and more. I welcome you to share as much or as little as you want with me in order to help you feel comfortable working together.
