Like the tall cedars surrounding us, I have been rooted in the Pacific Northwest since birth. Away from the massage table you will likely find me deep in a novel, weaving my kayak through quiet waters, traveling the globe, shaping clay on the potter’s wheel, taking photos, striding along trails, attending live music, grounding through meditation and breathwork, listening to birdsong, immersed in sound baths, or simply enjoying the company of loved ones—both human and canine.
