Massage

Massage treatment stimulates my love of holding space and solving puzzles. I'm especially nerdy about orthopedic treatment, myofascial release, peripheral nerve entrapments, and homecare that actually fits into patients' lives.

I believe my strength as a therapist comes from my creative career background and my own experience with chronic pain from acute injury.

I've spent 17 years in the North American parkour community (as the tallest person in the sport), worked as a SAG-AFTRA stunt performer on films like Black Panther and The Predator, coached movement and fall technique for nearly a decade, and was trained as a comics and character illustrator. Each taught me to read bodies: how they move, how they compensate, and the story behind them.

In 2018, an on-set stunt accident tore my (R) GH labrum, leading to five years of chronic pain before repair surgery in 2023. That time gave me deep empathy for people living with physical/emotional pain, and a firsthand understanding of the physical/emotional benefits massage therapy can have in aiding recovery.
