ABOUT
MEND is an English word meaning "to fix or repair".
You can 'mend' a wound or injury, 'mend' a piece of clothing, or even 'mend' a friendship.
This has inspired my work because I aim to listen and tend to the patchwork of history and experiences we carry in our bodies; mending the connection between body and mind.
Every scar and tense muscle tells a story.
ABOUT MY WORK
The style of massage I do is a nurturing modality combining trigger point therapy with long flowing strokes, bringing in stretching, therapeutic muscular work and gentle movement to focus on a state of deep relaxation and healing for the client. Whether you want a strong, deep massage or light healing touch, I utilize techniques from many styles of massage in a single session to create the perfect massage for you. Pulling from Swedish massage, Thai massage, sports massage, deep tissue, trigger point therapy and energy work, I also combine aspects of yoga and mindfulness into my sessions.
I aim to create a safe and relaxing space for all who come to me. I believe that every scar or tense muscle tells a story and receiving bodywork reconnects us to that story.
ABOUT ME
Massage and yoga found me during my 20's and I was deeply changed by the power of touch and movement. I later graduated from the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB) and received my Yoga Teacher Certification from Pilgrimage of the Heart Yoga, both in San Diego, California, my hometown.
After years of owning my own massage practice in California, I set off traveling for a few years. My path led me here and I began pursuing massage again. I am currently learning Dutch and finding my community.
I am so grateful to be back in touch with the work I love to do, helping people heal and relax.
I am currently diving into the world of sound healing and somatic psychology and hope to incorporate this knowledge into my practice at MEND.
