Inspired by the work of   Dr Rosita Arvigo, I studied at Oregon School of Massage and received my Oregon LMT license in June 2007. In 2001 I earned my Charter Herbalist diploma from Dominion Herbal College completing my formal herbal education, which began with a 17-month training program with Cascade Anderson Geller.    

Having spent years as a child in equatorial Africa, I have been drawn to the climate and biogeography of Belize and it’s traditional healers and enjoyed studying there with Rosita Arvigo in the springs of 2008 and 2009.

I have been involved in nurturing and healing all my life including: Cooking in a variety of settings - major resorts, mountain base camps, delis, ethnic inspired restaurants and camps; Teaching and running an herbal products company; Organizing large multi-day group camps and the Breitenbush Herbal Conference.

Now, as a licensed massage therapist I am continuing to build upon my healing and nurturing foundation. Join me in the garden cottage, a place where healing happens naturally, where each massage treatment is a relaxing, nurturing and stress relieving experience.
