My work is fundamentally about connection. I aim to support a deepening connection to ourselves, each other, and the earth through the wisdom of the body.
I am endlessly fascinated with the human body in all its variations, and all the ways it helps us move through the world. When you work with me, I show up ready to welcome your wholeness, help you connect with your body and your self, and support your evolution. We’ll work collaboratively, designing sessions that best fit your evolving needs.
I was educated at the Body Therapy Institute and have continued my education in structural and somatic modalities, and also offer somatic therapy under my LCSWA license. My work as an educator informs my bodywork - I have served on the faculty of the Body Therapy and Carolina Massage Institutes before their closures, and am a faculty member of the Spirit of Learning Somatic Teacher Education program with the Center for Embodied Education. I’m also a longtime mover and former yoga teacher.
Durham Community Bodywork is the joining of all the parts of my work, rooted in the ways care-giving and receiving are intricately connected.
The core values supporting my work are connection, integrity, respect, curiosity, humor, and love.
