The Mindful Body

• Wellness and Fitness Services

• Certified Massage Therapist

  • Jan 2007 - Aug 2015

  I am a San Francisco Bay Area native who specializes in providing nurturing, connective, therapeutic massage. My road to massage began after taking a Doulas of North America training in 2007. After completing my Doula (labor coach) certification I enrolled in Alive and Well! The Institute of Conscious Bodywork in Marin County. I completed my massage training in 2008. Since then I have worked continually at The Mindful Body focusing on prenatal work in particular, as well as a wide variety of clients, including athletes, yogis, and San Francisco's tech community. It is through my work as a doula and midwife's apprentice, supporting women and their partners during natural childbirth, that I have come to realize the value of deep integrative massage for pain relief and relaxation.
