I have been massaging for over 20 years. Here is what inspired me to begin this career:

How I end every session. How do you end yours?

Look ya’ll—it is our textbook. In Korean!!!

Thank you to Yeong Mun Publishing. And thank you to all the practitioners around the globe who are growing and spreading the lifelong efforts of our mentor, Carole Osborne!

Assisting pregnant people everywhere, in any language, is a delight and an honor.

My newest course, Give a Great Massage Again is coming live to Vermont in two weeks! Here are three of the most important things I teach in this course:

1. Burnout is not inevitable. I can show you how to take care of your own body while you take care of your client’s body!

2. Slower is better. We are massaging the nervous system more than the muscles; fewer strokes done with intention is far more effective.

3. You are strong enough. The key to a great massage is using your body weight; I show you how to work as deep (or as light!) as each client needs, without hurting yourself.

Three things that I do between my massage sessions that help me to show up as a better therapist in the session.
One: wash hands—all the way up to the elbows!
Two: eat almonds—a small handful does wonders!
Three: a long, slow exhalation before I enter the treatment room and start the next session—a little effortless breathing goes a long way!

A glimpse into my day when I am course creating!

01/31/2026

When I saw my first pregnant client, fresh out of massage school, I was terrified. I muddled my way through the session.
And then I got trained in pre- and perinatal massage.
Now, twenty years later, I teach this important work, and helped to write a textbook on it, carrying on the amazing legacy of my mentor, Carole Osborne.
Working with pregnant people is one of the highlights of my career. I love helping people feel comfortable in their own bodies as their bodies are going through such enormous change.
And I love teaching this work. Come join me.

When we are present with our clients, we have the ability to tune in deeply to their needs in order to create a transformative session. When we are precise with our clients, both with our words and our touch, they benefit on an even deeper level.
