Massage Therapist Deep Tissue Myofascial Release Portland Oregon

About Me

My path to bodywork began in 2010, when I started practicing Chinese Internal Martial Arts and Qigong, which deepened my awareness of the subtle dynamics within my body. Around the same time, I began receiving regular massage and acupuncture, and the combination of these practices had a lasting impact on how I experienced and related to my body. That transformation inspired me to study at East West College of the Healing Arts, where I became fascinated by the body’s complexity and drawn to both Western therapeutic techniques like Deep Tissue, Craniosacral Therapy, and Myofascial Release, and Eastern traditions including Tui Na, Shiatsu, and Thai Massage. I continue to explore and integrate these modalities into my practice, which is guided by Taoist principles as well as the balance found in blending ancient and modern systems of healing.

A longtime student of yoga, I've been teaching since 2020. For me, yoga is both a refuge and a gateway—an invitation to return to the body as a living landscape of sensation, memory, and intelligence. My classes center somatic awareness, breath, and intuitive movement, offering space for students to slow down, listen, and rediscover the quiet wisdom that lives within. Through this practice, we begin to soften the divide between body and mind, and reconnect with the deeper rhythm that moves through all life.
