​“The essence of working with another person is to be present as a living being. What matters is to be a human being with another human being, to recognize the other person as another being in there.” Gene Gendlin​

Nervous system support, co-regulation, massage therapy, and bodywork are integral parts in reaching my goal to live a healthy lifestyle and attain my highest level of healing, health, and wholeness. Nervous system support, co-regulation, massage therapy, and bodywork allow me to achieve and maintain optimal wellbeing by supporting me – heartbrainbody – to prepare for, and recover from, everyday life and strenuous activities.

I competed as a Professional Athlete for four years, training for and racing XTERRA off-road triathlon. I have also raced various 5K through marathon distance running races and mountain bike races, allowing me to relate on an experiential level to athletes of all abilities. I currently enjoy mountain biking, running, strength training, hiking, yoga, and meditation. I love to get outside, move, and breathe.
