Background: Growing up in Boulder, Colorado allowed me to become immersed in the benefits of health practices like Yoga, Pilates and Rolfing. My early years were spent skiing, rock climbing, and enjoying the natural beauty of the environment. This fostered a respect for nature, outdoor activities and would lead me to Rolfing as a career.

Training: After earning my BFA at the University of Colorado and my MFA at Art Center in Pasadena Ca., I studied Rolfing with Mary Bond at the Touch Therapy Institute. I then enrolled in the Rolf Institute in Boulder, followed by the Rolf Institute in São Paulo, because of its special focus on human movement and expression. The connection between the aesthetics of the human form, fitness and human expression became the foundation of my understanding of Rolfing.

Certification: Graduated from the Rolf Institute with a dual degree as a Certified Rolfer and Rolf Movement Practitioner, which qualifies me to balance soft tissue and to personalize sessions with natural innovative movement patterns that enhance physical performance and expression.
