A licensed Esthetician since 1989 I find deep satisfaction in getting to the root of skin imbalances and helping my clients to look and feel their most radiant.

I also love helping my clients to feel grounded and pampered thru foot treatments and massage.  

I have found that if we care properly for our feet the quality of our life is much improved.

I am a consumate student and passionate about deeping the knowledge of my trade. As  such I participate regularly in professional training both in the US and abroad. 

As a vegetarian and environmentalist I strive to minimize waste and I use organic products whenever possible in my business.

Originally from Portland Oregon I am somewhat of a newbie to the island. This summer will be my 5th year living here full-time, though we  have had our little cabin in the woods for nearly 14 years. 

I began my  esthetics career in Portland Oregon in 1989 and had the pleasure of working at several of the areas top Day Spas including Bellinis & Rejuvination Day Spa before opening my own micro spa in 2002. 

In 2009 I began studying massage eager to expand my repertoire.    

In 2016 I was fortunate to travel to Chaing Mia Thailand where I spent a month studying at the International Thai Massage School and recieved advanced certification. 

I love all the services I offer but I have a deep affection for Thai Massage and am excited to be offering this modality to the community. Thai massage utilizes some of my favorite healing arts; Yoga, Reflexology and energy work. The massage itself feels a bit like a dance and leaves client and practitioner deeply relaxed and energized. 

I am a recent empty nester and am enjoying discovering all the joys of living in my new island home. In particular I am thrilled by the thriving art scene here. I have a deep love of the performing arts, the natural world, literature, travel, wellness.  

A form of bodywork that was created 2500 years ago by Buddha's own physician, Shivago Komarpaj., Thai Massage is a combination of energy work, passive Yoga, and Ayurvedic practices. The massage practitioner utilizes acupressure, passive stretches, joint mobilization, reflexology and compression to bring the body back into balance. Traditional  Thai Massage is performed on a mat on the floor. The massage therapist utilizes their feet, body weight, hands and elbows to bring the client to a state of deep relaxation and increased wellness. Though Thai massage includes a great deal of movement and stretching, one does not need to be flexible to enjoy it. All movements are practiced with great care and compassion, respecting your bodies current limitations. 

Please come to your Thai massage session wearing comfortable clothing. Think yoga class i.e.. sweats or athletic wear and a t-shirt. During cooler days bring light layers such as clean socks and a thin sweatshirt to maximize your comfort. A minimum session is 90 minutes. You can also book a 2 hr session.
