My Experience

I grew up in a family that shared lots of healthy hugs and exchanged frequent shoulder and neck massages, encouraging my innate healing touch from an early age. I also experienced the pain and confusion of non-consensual touch as an adolescent, and receiving professional massage and polarity therapy played a huge role in my adult healing journey.

Since graduating from the Body Therapy Institute in 2003 as a Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist*, I have studied and incorporated additional healing modalities, including five years of Polarity Therapy training, the year-long Mind Body Spirit Yoga teacher training, and introductions to Reflexology and Thai Massage. For over twenty years I’ve been blessed to share bodywork and polarity therapy with hundreds of clients. *In the winter of 2025, I am retiring my massage license and will continue my Polarity Therapy practice on a limited basis.

My Approach

I believe in each person’s innate self-healing ability. I am honored to support you in connecting more fully to the natural wisdom, wholeness, and health of your body. My compassion, respect, and delight in all people is evident in every one-of-a-kind session. People who benefit from my approach: folks in need of deep relaxation and restoration to nourish and revitalize the nervous system, those in times of transition who want the wisdom of their body to guide resolution and integration of changes, people interested in increased awareness and ease in their bodies (can be enhanced with one-to-one yoga instruction as part of session).

My Offerings

Respectful, caring touch is essential to healthy human life and development. It is my joy to share the time-honored healing benefits of somatic energywork (Polarity Therapy). Please inquire about my waitlist/when I’ll be accepting new clients.

I see clients at the historic Nooe House in downtown Pittsboro, 224 East Street, Suite G. Payment installments are available to support affordability with cash and check the preferred methods of payment. I offer 90 and 120-minute sessions. Each session includes time to review your health history and observe your current state of being prior to hands-on work, and a check-in afterward to assist with integration.

What Is Polarity Therapy

Polarity Therapy is the art and science of balancing the natural electromagnetic energy which is the foundation for our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual selves. As a Polarity Therapist I view the flow and balance of energy in the body as a foundation of good health. The human energy field can become blocked or imbalanced by everyday stress and various forms of unresolved trauma. In a typical Polarity Therapy session, I work together with clients to address physical, mental and emotional energy blocks by creating a safe and supportive environment. In this holistic approach, I blend therapeutic touch, movement exercises, and dialogue that facilitates self-awareness and the building of internal resources.

Polarity Therapy works with a client’s natural self-healing abilities to harmonize the energies of the body. No oil or removal of the clothing is required for this sometimes subtle yet profound process. The results of Polarity Therapy sessions vary, and may include: profound relaxation; increased body awareness; greater clarity, openness, and creativity; plus relief from specific health challenges (ie, anxiety attacks and breathing difficulties).
