Twenty-six years ago, I experienced the worst panic attack of my life. That day began a deeply personal journey of learning more about myself and how to understand, support and regulate my nervous system. Ultimately, that journey led me to create Alchemy Bodywork, a practice to support both the physical and emotional aspects of the body. If you’re reading this, you may be feeling the need to slow down, reconnect with your body and make more space for your well-being.

I’ve always believed that touch is one of the most powerful yet underused tools available to us. But it wasn’t until I experienced Zero Balancing that I realized how bodywork can actually move the needle for inner clarity and setting your inner compass. That compass can ground us in our daily lives and guide us through transitions and the bigger decisions we need to make. Zero Balancing helped light the path that brought me where I am today. It gave me the quiet confidence to trust my intuition and take chances. Of course, they were calculated risks. I am still me, after all. But it helped me go for it in moments when I might have held back in the past.

What if the tension, uncertainty or sense of feeling stuck that you’ve learned to live with didn’t always have to feel so permanent?

We are energetic beings. The people we encounter, the experiences we have and the choices we make can all affect our energy and how we move through the world. Thoughtful bodywork can create an opportunity to shift that energy, quiet the outside noise and make more room for clarity, hope and joy. My approach to massage,
Zero Balancing and Reiki begins by listening to you and your body. I am not here to “fix” you. I am here to create an environment where your body is encouraged to make small, mindful shifts so you gain a calmer nervous system and greater clarity about what you need to do to move forward.

I am a licensed massage therapist and Level II Reiki practitioner. I have completed 75 hours of training in Zero Balancing and expect to earn my certification in 2027.

If you’re drawn to a slower, gentler massage, curious about Zero Balancing or simply looking for a new way to reconnect with yourself, I invite you to reach out.I look forward to sharing this approach to bodywork with the 30A community and walking beside you on your journey.
