about us
We are a small practice of Licensed Massage Therapists working out of a single treatment room. The practice was founded with the intention of sharing the healing art form of bodywork in our individual ways. Each bodyworker is a therapeutic artist with their own style and various backgrounds/modalities of training.
The environment is a serene, cozy room inside of the Fred Vogel Jr. Building on 231 East Buffalo Street.
No rush; there is adequate time to consult thoroughly and thoughtfully with those who come through our doors.
It's important to us that you feel heard in your consultation and that your needs are understood and addressed.

I have always loved working with my hands.
Bodywork is such a unique form of art. Client and therapist share the experience of slowly tuning in to see how restrictions changes with touch. I became a licensed massage therapist to provide the experience of this art form.
The world of movement and bodywork is a vast ocean of theory and experience.
There is a lot to be discovered, and each one of us has the capacity to learn and share something new about the human experience.
What a time to be alive!!!

I have been in the health/fitness/wellness industry for over a decade and decided a long time ago that I was going to help and heal others to the best of my ability.
My experience and past is mixed with being a certified personal/group trainer and doing bodywork out of both a spa as well as a chiropractic clinic.
I love getting out into nature daily, rain or shine, and integrating self care with regular exercise.
Working with athletes and individuals that are in need of a therapeutic approach is my specialty, but I will hold space for anyone to let go and deeply relax.
