Background & Specialities: Played competitive volleyball and trained in strength & conditioning for over 10 years, including her time as a D3 athlete at Emerson College.

Background + Specialities:
I bring a performance-informed, clinically precise approach to recovery and movement at Pharos Athletic Club. With a background as a professional touring vocalist and lifelong circus athlete, I understand the demands placed on both high-output bodies and high-stress nervous systems. Most people come to me for a blend of deep tissue, trigger point, neuromuscular therapy, and cupping, with shiatsu and acupressure incorporated as needed.
One of my specialties is anterior neck work. Years as a competitive vocal performer taught me how to access and treat the complex musculature surrounding the vocal box with detailed, therapeutic precision — an area often overlooked but deeply connected to breathing, posture, jaw tension, and nervous system regulation. My work also integrates Pilates-based structural balance, craniosacral and energy-informed techniques, and Chinese medicine principles to understand patterns of stagnation, deficiency, and flow. Sessions are collaborative and investigative, identifying compensation patterns and building a clear plan to restore ease, strength, and sustainable resilience.
I like to work with people who…carry stress in their body, feel stuck in recurring tension patterns, or rely on their voice, focus, and performance for their work. Many of my returning clients are musicians, artists, lawyers, founders, and people in high-pressure careers who need precise bodywork alongside nervous system regulation. I also work with athletes and performers, but my focus is helping anyone whose life demands sustained output feel better in their body day to day.
Outside the gym you can find me…training Pilates and mobility, practicing aerial arts, writing music, cooking nutrient-dense meals, and continuing to study anatomy, nervous system regulation, and recovery methods that support long-term performance.
Quote me on it… “Where you hold your breath is where you hold your tension.”
