I‘m a licensed massage therapist who enjoys helping people get back to their activities. I grew up an athlete and after some college courses in anatomy and physiology I knew I wanted to work with the body. My bodywork journey began when I attended the Aspen Massage Institute in 2019. Since then I’ve worked at a spa and a salon in Aspen helping people relax and recover from mountain activities. I really enjoy working with athletes with Sports massage. I also have education in cupping therapy. I am excited to be apart of this team- continuing to grow and help others on their healing journey.
