You are not a list of symptoms. Your body, emotions, energy, and history are one story, and most care only reads a page of it. At Haven Of Harmony, I read all of it. After more than 20 years in Chinese medicine, massage therapy, and energy healing, I know how to hear what your body has been trying to say.
My work is alchemy — and my deepest aim is to help you become your own alchemist, turning what you carry into energy, insight, and ease, so you can support your own healing and live your best version of life.
This is how I see you in every session — in person, on a video call, or in a coaching conversation.
It Begins with You
Before I touch or observe anything, I listen. What are you experiencing? What have you noticed? What do you hope to feel when you leave? Your answers set the direction for everything that follows.
What Your Body Tells Me
Your body speaks long before you do. I body map your ears, face, tongue, pulse, feet, gait, speech, and energy, each of which offers clinical information. In Chinese medicine, the tongue reveals far more than digestion, and what I find there guides the full body work I do for you.
I also read how your body holds emotion. Stress often gathers in the jaw, neck, and shoulders. Grief tends to settle low, as heaviness in the knees and feet. What your mind can’t yet put into words, your body is still carrying, and I can find it.
In virtual sessions, body mapping looks a little different, but the same principles hold. I can read your tongue, your speech, and your energy through the screen. In person, I add the rest — ears, pulse, feet, gait, and the listening of my hands.
I Keep Listening While I Work
Your assessment doesn’t end when your session begins. As I work, I track shifts in tissue, energy, and flow, and I adapt my hands, techniques, and direction as your body responds. You will never receive a routine. You receive care that follows you.
If You’re Ready to Release What You’re Holding
When I sense trauma held in your body, you decide what happens next. With your consent, and only when you are ready, I can guide you through releasing it during your session, at your pace. I don’t diagnose. I read what you carry and hold the space for you to set it down.
One Integrated Practice, Shaped to You
Craniosacral therapy, medical massage, Chinese medicine bodywork, Ayurvedic bodywork, Cherokee bodywork, reflexology, and Ampuku are not separate menu items. They are threads of one practice, and I choose among them moment by moment based on what your body asks for.
I also hold advanced training in manual lymphatic drainage, oncology massage, and healthy breast massage, a combination that supports breast cancer survivors especially well.
I also specialize in prenatal bodywork — integrative like every session here, and shaped to a body that’s doing something extraordinary. If you’re expecting, there’s a whole page for you: learn more about integrative prenatal massage (prenatal).
Abdominal work is often part of an integrative session, and it’s especially supportive for anyone with digestive concerns. It’s never required — it’s always your choice, and it’s there for you whenever you want it to be.
What That Looks Like in Practice
- Listening to your concerns, goals, and lived experience
- Body mapping the ears, face, tongue, pulse, feet, gait, speech, and energy
- Mapping where your energy is blocked and where it wants to move
- Working the primary and extraordinary channels of Chinese medicine to open flow, release blockages, and ease pain
- Hands-on techniques, always with your consent
- Continuous reassessment, adjusting in real time to what your body needs
- The same reading and real-time adaptation in virtual sessions and coaching — tongue, speech, and energy — adapted to the format
- A custom essential oil formula blended for your session
- Reiki, shamanic healing, sound therapy, and energy clearing techniques, when they serve you
This Is For You If
- You’ve been to other practitioners and left feeling like something was missed
- You’re a highly sensitive empath who feels the world a little too much, and you’re ready for someone who doesn’t just tolerate that but works with it
- You’re a healer yourself, and you’re overdue for someone holding space for you
- You’re navigating an autoimmune condition, including Lyme disease, cancer recovery, or medical sensitivity and need a practitioner who actually reads your body before she touches it
- You’re navigating high anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, or a condition that hasn’t responded to medication, and you need a practitioner who holds all of you, not just the diagnosis
- You’re healing from a traumatic brain injury — from an accident or something similar — and you need someone who can meet you where your recovery actually is, through the modalities that serve it
- You’re a pregnant woman looking for holistic, whole-person care — someone who sees your whole body, not just the bump, and holds energetic space for your baby alongside you
- You’re a woman in perimenopause or menopause whose body is changing in ways nobody quite explained, and you want someone who sees the whole picture
- You want clinical expertise and sacred care in the same room, from the same hands, without having to choose
- You understand that sometimes what your nervous system needs most is deep rest and regulation, and you want a practitioner who knows when to push and when to just let you receive
- You’re ready to be seen as a whole person, not a symptom list
If even one of these made you exhale — that little yes you felt in your chest — you’re in the right place. You don’t need to know what’s wrong or what to ask for. Just come as you are, and we’ll start with listening.
This practice centers women. Men are welcome, and always have been. But if you’re a woman who has spent your life holding everything together for everyone else, this space was built for you.
This Is Not For You If
- You’re looking for a basic back rub you could get at any spa or massage clinic
- You want to tell the practitioner what to do and how to do it
- You’re not ready to trust a skilled clinical healer to read your body and decide what it needs
Your Personalized Care Plan
What I discover becomes your plan of care, created at the end of your session or after our initial work together. It is written for you, never pulled from a template, and it changes as you change.
Care That Honors You
You should feel seen and heard before anything else. I don’t apply formulas or assume what you need. We work together, at your pace, within your boundaries.
My assessments guide the care I provide within my professional scope. They are not a medical diagnosis and do not replace care from a licensed medical or mental health provider. I am part of a healthcare group and can collaborate with your other healthcare professionals as part of your care team.
Ready to Begin?
If any of this sounds like you — or if you’re simply ready — choose your way in. Book an integrative massage session (integrative-massage-session), meet me for a virtual session (virtual-session), or begin with a coaching conversation (coaching-conversation). Whichever door you choose, we’ll start with a discussion on your goals within your healing journey.
