Meet the Practitioner
Welcome to Armadillo Moon, an evolving practice wholistically dedicated to supporting the body through transitionally challenging times. With a blend of creativity, strategy, and heart, I strive to provide a place where clients can restore balance to their nervous system(s) and quiet the mind. I provide a variety of direct and indirect techniques that offer highly successful experiences to those who come to me for regulation needs. My craft integrates a variety of modalities to greet every layer with thoughtful attention. Cranial Sacral, Anatomy Trains, Neuromuscular, Polyvagal exercises, and Somatic Experiencing are some, but not all, of the techniques I refer to throughout a single session. The depth of my interest runs deep, and I revere the teachings of Somatic masters Pat Ogden, Daniel Siegel, and Peter Levine— who have all inspired and challenged me to exceed the practice of Massage Therapy. Every client I see is an opportunity to learn, grow, and do something meaningful with my studies. I treat nervous systems quietly, until I notice held relief, then craft my skills to offer deep forms of sensory restoration. I have over 2500 hours of education dedicated to my practice and 25 years of passionate expertise. I bridge Eastern and Western massage philosophies and have attended the institutions of Crestone Healing Arts Center, 2001 and Oregon School of Massage, 2018.
