I believe in the healing power of touch. In our fast paced, stressful world, slowing down and being mindful of the present are crucial for our energy level in daily life. Massage brings these together to benefit your body.

Massage also goes beyond self care and relaxation to alleviate pain, heal injured muscles, and balance posture and movement. The way we move is integral to our day—pain-free, unlimited movement keeps us at our best.

I work with my clients to meet movement goals and reduce pain from sore and stiff muscles, as well as working together to implement problem solving stretches or postural changes in their daily routine.

The first days and weeks of having a new baby are a time to be enjoyed and celebrated by focusing on healing and joyful interactions with your baby.

Care for the mother is especially needed after a new baby: rest, nutrition, and a safe space are needed to adjust to the changes in her body and life.

I provide non-medical assistance to the mother and work with the family to focus on their healing and integrate into their daily life.

As a massage therapist, I am able to provide in-home massage sessions to the mother, helping to reduce pain from sore muscles from pregnancy and the birth process, aid in relaxation and stress relief, and restoring the body's movement.

Your baby can benefit directly and indirectly from massage. The awareness and interaction of infant massage promotes bonding between you and your child, and helps to regulate the baby's body.

I bring my knowledge of massage therapy to doula work to bring to the you and your family an experience of restorative care, practiced skills, and personal attention.

I serve families from many backgrounds and lifestyles, bringing myself with respect and care into your home.

Plant-based healing & body care products

first aid
postpartum
baby care

deodorant
bath salts
soaps & scrubs

Each product is made in small batches from organic plants I have grown at home or foraged from nearby meadows and forests when possible.

Herbs are gentle but fortifying aids to healing the body and balancing our bodily systems, including the skin. Combined with wholesome plant oils, they work to heal, calm, restore, and sustain your body.

I slowly infuse each herb into oil to produce products that are practical, simple, and effective. I take time and care with each batch so you and your body will benefit the most.

About me

I graduated from the Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy in 2013, and have been practicing massage therapy and growing my business ever since.

In 2018 I began my journey with postpartum doula care and have taken courses with the Center for the Childbearing Year while working toward my DONA certification.

I have a lifelong passion for the outdoors and natural world, which I incorporate into my work with herbal products and knowledge as well as the simple, wholistic approach to health and care. I currently live in the Ann Arbor area with my partner and two children and get out into the forest as much as possible.
