Esalen® Massage Approach to Trauma
Massage for Mammograms
As a Massage Therapist, with over 16 years of clinical experience in treating soft tissue function and pain, I provide a gentle and thoughtful approach to healing and wellness. I received my Bachelor of Art in Art History from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 1993 and received my massage therapy diploma from the Body Therapy Institute in 2008. I was drawn to BTI initially because of their focus on body-based psychology. I have been practicing massage therapy since 2009.
I bring a deeply intuitive and heart-centered approach to bodywork, creating a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Drawing from a rich toolbox of healing modalities—including the calming flow of Esalen® Massage and the gentle support of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy—I meet each person with care and intention. I also integrate Transforming Touch® Somatic Therapy, a gentle and trauma-informed method that supports nervous system regulation and emotional well-being. Whether you’re navigating stress, physical discomfort, or simply craving a moment to reconnect with yourself, I offer a personalized experience that honors both your body’s wisdom and your life’s unique rhythm.

Transforming Touch® Somatic Therapy
Transforming Touch® is a specialized approach to somatic therapy designed to address neonatal and childhood difficulties and build resilience against toxic stress. This unique method emphasizes the connection between the body and brain, employing gentle techniques to nurture vital connections.
For Adults, Children, and Infants
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Using Chikly's Manual Lymphatic Mapping protocol, lymph drainage therapy is a gentle hands-on manual therapy technique that addresses pathology in the muscles, fascia, tendons, periosteum, viscera, synovial fluid, eyes, and blood vessels, by working directly with your immune system. LDT is a full body system approach of hands on techniques to alleviate pain, restore function, & promote health & well being.
Customized Massage Therapy
With an emphasis on light pressure but working deeply, I use the long, flowing form of Easlen® Massage to focus on whole body wellness and a deepened experience of rest and relaxation. Esalen® work is deeply relaxing and meditative. It is highly complimentary to somatic therapy.

Esalen® Massage
This session is a deeply nurturing blend of gentle somatic healing and mindful bodywork, designed to soothe the nervous system and restore a sense of ease in both body and mind. We begin with the long, integrative strokes of Esalen® Massage—slow, spacious, and deeply connected—to invite relaxation, presence, and gentle release. From there, we move intoTransforming Touch® to support nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and grounding. This combination is ideal if you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply in need of a reset. It’s a quiet, restorative experience that allows your whole system to exhale.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
This gentle, restorative session is designed to support your body’s natural rhythms—physically, emotionally, and energetically. We work within the Transforming Touch® frame and move into Lymphatic Drainage Therapy as an extended enhancement to invite the slow, rhythmic nature of breath and being to encourage the natural healing processes of the body. This combination is ideal for times of stress, recovery, or when your system simply feels stuck or overwhelmed. It’s a quiet, healing experience that invites balance from the inside out.
