History
I have been licensed as a Massage Therapist since 2001. I started out working in 5-star resorts between Hawaii and San Francisco, performing over 3000 sessions in these environments while going to music school. My early work experience includes doing massage therapy and physical therapy assistant work in a Mill Valley P.T. clinic as well. I also worked in acupuncture and chiropractic offices, as well as in private practice. I've interned in biomechanics labs and motion sciences research centers more recently while completing my undergrad degree in kinesiology and exercise science at OSU. For the last few years I have been enjoying working with horses and have developed a comprehensive bodywork program for the equine athlete and practice regularly through my horse business, cascadianstables.com. I am very happy to be in private practice in beautiful Bend Oregon where I have 6 generations of family history. The people of Central Oregon, residents and visitors alike, are the best!
