Intent Health

I’m fascinated by the art and science of massage therapy. With a trauma-informed approach, and a special focus on pain and stress management, I enjoy helping people feel at ease in their bodies. I also facilitate discussions for students and RMTs to learn about current research and best practices in patient care.

I'm a firm believer that communication, collaboration, and consent are crucial for success in the therapeutic process. I'm particularly fond of working slowly, using relaxation massage as the framework upon which I add more targeted therapeutic techniques. I enjoy working with a wide variety of bodies, backgrounds, genders, and neurotypes.

I’m passionate about working with people experiencing pain - whether new, recurring or chronic. Having studied the biology of pain at a graduate level, I also enjoy discussing factors that can influence the experience of pain, and helping people navigate the broader healthcare system to manage specific pain-related conditions.

My goal is to create a space where patients feel safe, respected, and genuinely listened to. I strive to support each person’s unique health journey with compassion, curiosity, and a trauma-informed perspective. I offer evidence-based, accessible information to help patients better understand their symptoms, and encourage more supportive inner narratives to emerge.

I offer treatments that are therapeutic, restorative, and deeply relaxing, tailored to each client’s unique needs. Whether the goal is pain relief, injury recovery, stress reduction, or overall wellness, my approach is individualized and evidence-informed, grounded in careful assessment, open communication, and collaboration

I’m currently in my last year of the Registered Massage Therapy program at VCMT and I approach bodywork with a focus on creating a safe, inclusive, and collaborative space. Every body is different, and I believe treatments should reflect that. Together we can explore what feels most supportive for you on any given day, whether that means targeting areas of tension or simply creating space to relax and reconnect with your body.

I’m currently a student in the Registered Massage Therapy program at Rhodes College. I think of each massage treatment like a story that unfolds. We start by letting the body settle, then gradually work into areas that need more focus, and closing the session in a way that helps you feel grounded and balanced.
