About me:
I am a forever student of Ayurveda learning all that I can from this ancient science. While I love learning the theory, it is the lifestyle and hands on practices that I am most passionate about. I have been blessed to have studied from a few different teachers and my head massage style is a culminations of what I learned in my ayurvedic head massage training, as well as from my abhyanga and ayurvedic facials training.
I believe that the energy of the space, the energy of the practitioner, the small details and added touches during the treatment, and how we start and end with our client all contribute to their experience. It is my reason for creating a training where all these details are addressed in addition to the technique, to create a wholistic experience for the student and the client!
