I am a kink/poly/queer-aware/friendly Certified Massage Therapist based in Richmond, Virginia's Shockoe Valley. I take a holistic and integrated approach with my clients, understanding that just as the causes stress and pain are complicated and multi-faceted, so too are the therapies and practices that relieve them. I am passionate about helping my clients reconnect to their best and truest selves through the massage therapy I provide. My "massage style" is best described as "integrative," blending relaxation and medical massage techniques so that you leave my office feeling revitalized, tranquil, and blissful, freed from the burdens you had been carrying.
