With the recent influx of followers from the ad I’ve been running, I figured I’d do a little get to know me post again:

Slide 1: I’ve spent the bulk of my life in Colorado and have a beautiful community of friends and family. If I’m not working, I’m seeing what kinda mischief I can get up to with my rotten soldiers.

Slides 2&3: A lifetime ago I was a dancer and it still informs the way I approach movement for massage and in my life. I still dance around in the studio at my gym pretty frequently, and I refuse to lose the flexibility I trained so hard to get.

Slide 4: I lost about 100lbs when I was a kid. It’s a huge reason I love fitness and the science of food and nutrition. It also means I don’t tolerate a moment of fatphobia and attempt to use neutral language for bodies. I aim to be an affirming safe space for people of all sizes.

Slide 5: I have a beautiful cat named Vivienne Plywood, she’s neurotic and cute and silly and challenges my fastidious cleanliness with her constant shedding. (She isn’t allowed in the massage studio and I have an air purifier running 24/7 in that space specifically).

Not pictured: When I’m not massaging, I work for a call center from home. It supplies the bulk of my monetary needs, so I try and be as minimalistic about marketing as possible. I find constant emails and up-charges and marketing generally annoying,so I do my best to avoid it as much as possible.

Slide 6: Deep tissue work is my favorite type of massage to receive, and it accounts for about half of the massage that I give. I also do a lot of Swedish massage or massage for the general purpose of relaxing. I help people with true stretching in maybe 10% of massages, but I integrate body movements (particularly for shoulder work) in most massages I give.

Bonus: I had a pet squirrel for a while
