The common thread throughout my diverse background is working for the betterment of people. I'm a Certified Massage Therapist and Certified Acupressurist. My studies are life-long, with a solid understanding of acupressure through the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley. I continue to work closely with Dr. Michael Reed Gach, founder of acupressure.com. I'm registered with the State of California #37980, and am also a certified member of the American Bodywork and Massage Professionals association. I focus on emotional balancing, supporting an environment for core healing. As an intuitive facilitator, I'm guided to the highest benefit for my clients. My curiosity continues with other healing practices, including local herbology and independently studying homeopathy.

Having spent several years working in three and four star restaurants, I have a passion for food and cooking. I support a whole food, organic and natural lifestyle. An avid cyclist, I spend much of my free time riding throughout the region and exploring the natural world surrounding the built environment. I believe in giving back to the community and have volunteered with many organizations, particularly local bicycle coalitions, and a health clinic in India. A California native, I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than 20 years, and was bi-coastal throughout my childhood.

I enjoy taking photographs and completely immersing myself in the subject. I love technology and stay current with new developments, especially those that intersect with environmental preservation and health. I have professional web development and social media management experience.

Every community is connected globally, I like to think on this global scale. I believe that we are all on Earth together as a single species in the Universe. We contribute to community in our own unique way just by being present. Our path of action is based on past experiences, and current state of awareness. I want to be surrounded by people from many different paths in life.
