As a White-identifying practitioner, I feel it is important to express publicly my appreciation for the beautiful modalities that I am deeply humbled and feel so honored to study and embody when I am in session. As is part of the tradition of offering Thai Massage I welcome in and pay my respects to all the practitioners that have come before me, and also to my teachers who first introduced me to this amazing work. I come as a student to the way of life, the culture and the medicine. I am a guest in the space.

Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient art with roots in Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine. It is thought to have originated from a medical practitioner, Dr. Jivaka, who traveled with the Buddha to India. Thank you Dr. Jivaka for your incredible gift to the world and to me. I will do my very best to honor your legacy with everything that I do.

Reiki is a form of energy work that originated from Japan. Usui Mikao is the founder of this powerful modality that also taps into the person’s energy, allows for spirit-led messages to come through, flow to be restored and clearing of old or painful energy. Thank you Usiu Mikao for your medicine; the healing I have received from this care is priceless.

Brazilian Zouk is an incredible blend of partner connection, dancing and freedom of expression in the body. The lessons I have learned in class and on the dance floor dramatically affect how I encourage movement in my sessions. The dance that I currently enjoy originated from Lambada and continues to be an ever evolving outward expression of the spectrum of emotions.

My life has personally been transformed by the work of both of these men as well as the teachers that have shared their knowledge and facilitated my experience. I am grateful for April Jay of Resilience Reiki, CC Barber who powerfully and beautifully invites the flow of the feminine to be part of her Energy Work and Mentorship; Erin Wright and Pamela Suden-Hart from East West College; Eric Vaulte from Thai Dai Massage; Nathalia Carbajal my Zouk Mama; Paul Elmore my Counselor and Oracle for navigating experiential healing modalities; and Megan Taylor of Bold CEO for releasing the inner Lioness in me. They have each played a huge part in my journey of learning. The most important thing about all of the medicine that I bring to my clients: it is an authentic fusion of personal experience and a deep appreciation for the origins of the craft. I am who I am because of my community. I welcome you into this beautiful vessel of self discovery and putting the humanity back in to being.
