Which Massage Style Is Right For You?

Hi! Nice to meet you.

My journey to becoming a massage therapist began long before my formal training at Mckinnon Body Center Therapy in Oakland, California. It started with my own struggles in recovering from injuries, which opened my eyes to the power of different healing methods that work alongside the body's natural ability to heal, rejuvenate and restore balance. Exploring both Western and Eastern traditions, I realized that healing is closely tied to the mind and spirit. This profound realization sparked a passion in me not only to understand how these elements connect but also to channel that understanding into meaningful work.

My experiences solidified my belief in the importance of comprehensive and personalized care. Treating a person requires addressing not only their physical aspects but also mental and spiritual well-being.

integrative massage & therapeutic bodywork

Your session is more than just a massage—it’s a personalized experience designed to meet your body’s unique needs. I blend restorative and therapeutic techniques to help prevent injury, relieve pain, speed up recovery, and improve mobility, so you can feel truly at home in your body. Each massage is a combination of deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, assisted stretching, active release, cupping with myofascial movement (when needed), and the calming flow of Swedish massage.

Approach

My integrative massage and therapeutic bodywork sessions follow a slower, intentional pace to reach deeper layers of muscle tension and provide deep lasting relief and relaxation. This approach not only helps your body relax but also creates space for mindfulness—allowing you to reconnect with yourself, reduce mental chatter, and feel fully present in your body throughout the session.
