ABOUT
MEND is an English word meaning "to fix or repair".
You can 'mend' a wound or injury, 'mend' a piece of clothing, or even 'mend' a friendship.
This has inspired my work because I aim to listen and tend to the patchwork of history and experiences we carry in our bodies; mending the connection between body and mind.
Every scar and tense muscle tells a story.
ABOUT MY WORK
The style of massage I do is a nurturing modality with long flowing strokes combined with stretching, therapeutic muscular work and gentle movement, while focusing on a state of deep relaxation for the client. Whether you want a strong, deep massage or simply light healing touch, I am here to create a safe and relaxing space for all who come to me. I utilize techniques from many types of massage in a single session; pulling from Swedish massage, Thai massage, sports massage, deep tissue, trigger point therapy and energy work, as well as aspects of yoga and mindfulness I strive to create the perfect session for you.
I am currently exploring the benefits of sound healing and natural skin care in my massage as well. All of the massage oils are hand-formulated by me, using high quality, all natural ingredients.

ABOUT ME
Massage and yoga found me during my 20's and I was deeply changed by the power of touch and movement. I later graduated from the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB) and received my Yoga Teacher Certification from Pilgrimage of the Heart Yoga, both in San Diego, California, my hometown.
After years of owning my own massage practice in California, I set off traveling for a few years. My path led me here and I began pursuing massage again. I am currently learning Dutch and finding my community.
I am so grateful to be back in touch with the work I love to do, helping people heal and relax.
I am also currently studying natural skincare formulation and hope to incorporate this into MEND.
