Restorative, sophisticated movement training combined with nervous-system-focused massage for powerful bodywork that feels good!

I specialize in working with each person and their body in ways that are restorative, pain-free, and informed by up-to-date science, helping a wide range of people benefit their neuro-myofascial tissue and nervous system. My expertise can be particularly helpful for chronic pain, conditions affecting the nervous system, long Covid, sports massage, movement cross-training, and just deeply relaxing with a massage that feels great.

My goal is to listen to you and your body with sensitivity, cultivate open communication to engage you as an active participant in your treatment process, and work with you as opposed to on you.

Inspired by my background as a professional ballet dancer for over 17 years, having experienced the rigors of professional athletic pursuit, injury, and recovery as well as varied forms of training, somatic practices, and therapeutic bodywork, I am passionate about sharing the benefits and joy of movement and massage. I am a New York State licensed massage therapist and a certified personal trainer. I also teach ballet and create choreography.

My approach to massage focuses on powerful nerve and nervous system downregulation, facilitating deep relaxation and the restorative process of your body. My work is influence by Dermo-Neuro-Modulation and an understanding of the connection between our skin and brain.

I believe in a gentler approach to manual therapy. I avoid “beating you up” or trying to “break up adhesions” (by, ultimately, compressing your nerves), instead I create lift and space, mobilizing your nerves with touch that feels good and calms your brain and tissue. No need to feel tortured during or sore after a massage!

I offer Strength & Flexibility Training, Movement + Massage, and Massage sessions in Brooklyn at 105 Grand street and in Manhattan at 736 Broadway. I offer in-home services in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and The Hamptons (depending upon location). Contact me to book in-home. I offer online booking for my Brooklyn location, 105 Grand St.


I look forward to working with you and supporting you in your self-embodiment journey!
