I have been a licensed and practicing massage therapist since 2005 and am fascinated by all things related to the body. I was a dance & movement instructor and certified yoga teacher for over 10 years and in 2014 I founded The AERO Space Pole Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon. I sold my studio in 2020 and pursued a Masters in Interior Design at Heritage School of Interior Design. I currently split my time practicing massage and working as an Interior Designer, consulting primarily with Bridge City Tile. I specialize in therapeutic massage and manual therapy that aims to realign the body, relieve tension, rehabilitate injuries and reestablish well-being through structural integration, deep tissue work and the practice of Counterstrain. www.mmtnw.com I have been trained extensively in both western and eastern traditions of touch and philosophies of health. My modalities include Counterstrain, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, structural integration, Trigger Point Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Structural Kinesiology, sports massage, shiatsu, Lomi Lomi, Thai Massage, reflexology, and yoga therapy. My understanding of and approach to the body is enhanced by my adjunct work as a trained yoga, dance and movement instructor. My time on the mat and in the studio has given me invaluable insight into the way injuries, repetitive behaviors, and lifestyle choices can impact the overall health of my clients and students alike. My bodywork is distinguished by a powerful intuitive touch, an awareness of form and function, and a holistic approach to integrative health. As an interior design, my aesthetic focuses on function followed very closely by form. I love working with people to create beautiful spaces that evoke feelings of comfort and welcome. I specialize in AirBnb design, having traveled to all 7 continents by the time I was 30. I know what travelers want and need and I know what sets a rental apart and creates repeat bookings. I also work with clients who are staging their homes for sale as well as homeowners who are looking to revitalize their space through design and even remodel.
