Loving Wellness

About Me

It is truly an honor to be of service. My work is anchored around compassion, presence, and deep respect for the body’s innate wisdom. I believe that when we feel safe, supported, and gently held, the body remembers how to soften, restore, and heal.

Aquatic Bodywork & Massage Therapy is more than a technique to me — it is a sacred space. A space where stress dissolves, where the nervous system settles, and where each person is cared for with loving attention. My intention is always to create an experience that feels nurturing, restorative, and deeply beneficial.

For many years, I have worked in the senior healthcare community, supporting older adults, caregivers, and individuals living with dementia. This experience has given me a profound appreciation for gentle, patient-centered care and the importance of creating a space where each person feels safe, respected, and nurtured.

My intention is always to create a peaceful, welcoming environment where clients can release tension, quiet the mind, and reconnect with a sense of ease and balance.

It is an honor to hold space for each person’s journey. Where my work is rooted in loving wellness.

What You Can Expect

Your comfort, safety, and sense of ease are always my highest priority. Each session is personalized and thoughtfully guided by what your body communicates in the moment.

We begin with a brief conversation to discuss your needs, physical considerations, and intentions for the session. This allows me to tailor the experience specifically to you.

During an Aquatic Session, you will be continuously supported by me throughout the session, allowing your body to float effortlessly in a heated pool. The water carries you, reducing strain and inviting deep muscular release. I blend the foundation of Massage Therapy, Watsu, Thai Yoga stretches and Craniosacral principles. Your session will involve slow, rhythmic cradling, rocking, stretching and moments of stillness, often guided by your breathing and guided by your body’s responses.

The session is not a routine or sequence. It is a listening process. I follow the rhythm of your breath, the tone of your muscles, and the subtle cues your body offers. The water allows for effortless movement, deeper release, and a profound sense of being held.

There is nothing you need to do. Simply breathe and receive.

Many clients describe the experience as meditative, deeply calming, and emotionally restorative. Each session unfolds uniquely, always centered on your comfort and well-being.

During a Table Session you will rest comfortably on the massage table for gentle, grounding bodywork. My sessions are designed to be deeply nurturing, calming and restorative. This is not a forceful or clinical experience but rather one that invites your body to soften, unwind and feel completely supported. Using slow flowing strokes with a gentle and intuitive touch, I help guide your nervous system into a state of relaxation and safety. My intention is not to force the muscles to relax but to allow tension to melt naturally. Each session is guide by listening to your breath and your body's subtle responses. Table sessions can be enjoyed in my office or immersed by the beauty of nature - on my boat.

It is especially suitable for people with Parkinsons, MS, early-stage dementia, chronic pain or nervous system challenges because of it's supportive, low-impact nature. Aquatic therapy offers gentle, supportive movement that benefits people of all ages and abilities. It is especially helpful for the aging population supporting joint mobility, reducing stiffness and engaging overall wellbeing in a safe nurturing environment.

Table massage is wonderfully versatile and suitable for almost anyone seeking relaxation and tranquility. My hydraulic table allows for easy adjustments for comfort and accessibility, ensuring a safe, nurturing experience. Unlike pool-based work, table massage can accommodate those who prefer a land-based session.

Table massage on the boat is a deeply nuturing experience. During your massage, you'll smell the salt air, feel the gentle rocking of the water and hear the nearby ocean waves. This beauty of nature invites your whole being to soften, let go and simply receive. Surrounded by open air and sunlight your body can unwind naturally, find a sense of peace, grounding and retoration. This space is where you are held, supported and free to just be.
