My interest in becoming a chiropractor started at a young age, but I didn’t know it at the time. In second or third grade, my teacher assigned an activity in which we were to imagine what job we wanted to have when we grew up. The standard list was offered, including astronaut, fireman, teacher, garbage collector and so on. I couldn’t decide on the right job for me, but I remember telling my parents that I liked science, working with my hands, figuring out how things work, and helping people. 17 years later, I decided to study to become a Chiropractor - the perfect application of all those interests!

Another pivotal time in my life that lead me to this profession was when I was in middle school and developed an inexplicable illness. For almost a year, I saw many medical specialists and had every imaginable test and scan done to find an explanation for my headaches, brain fog, memory loss, sinus infections, chronic fatigue, insomnia, and joint/muscle pain. It wasn’t until my family started to explore Chiropractic care, Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, and alternative medicine that I started to feel relief and regain my strength and mental function. This experience was a major factor in deciding to study, and now practice, the techniques that I use today.

My illness started in childhood. It likely even had roots in utero, birth, and infancy. This is why I am passionate about treating babies and young children - to address their small issues before they turn into big problems later in life. It’s never too late to start working on health challenges though! For clients of any age, I deeply believe that it is important to listen to the indiviual person and take the time to find the reason for each of their concerns.

I graduated from Life University in Marietta, GA with my doctorate degree in Chiropractic and before that, attended Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY for my bachelors degree in Music Education. I enjoy playing musical instruments, spending time in nature and on water, and completing projects around the home in my free time.

I spent my formative years in coastal East Africa. My childhood in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania has shaped my life more deeply than I can do justice to in a short bio, so I won’t attempt it, but I’m an open book, so ask me anything. I’m a third culture kid… if you know, you know ;)

I returned to the United States for higher education and earned my bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a special interest in arts, culture, and religion. I knew I wanted to work with people in a meaningful way, and it has taken time and experience to figure out what that means.

After spending a some years working in childcare and a few other fields, I decided to follow my intuition and step into the world of bodywork. The idea of being a massage therapist had been percolating in the back of my mind for a while and so in 2017 I enrolled in Massage Therapy school. My education awakened in me a new wonder and passion for the human body and its magnificent design. It also confirmed my suspicion that holistic and “alternative” approaches to health and wellness would be where I would find my own healing.

I completed my training and clinical experience at Cortiva Institute in King of Prussia, earned my license, and since then have worked both in the spa environment and in private practice. I am also certified in Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, Prenatal Massage, and Infant Massage.

My intention through Massage Therapy and bodywork is to offer the time, space, and nurturing touch that is needed for my clients to transition from stress & tension into calmness & presence in their bodies and minds. I am especially passionate about women’s health, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and want to provide support through bodywork to women, their babies, and their families during the childbearing years.

Brian and I have been married since 2017 and we had our first son in 2020. In my self-care time, I enjoy receiving bodywork, studying birth and women’s health, listening to (mostly birth-related) podcasts, painting, writing poetry, reading, and moving my body.
