Growing up in Odessa, Texas, my father worked in the oilfield most of his life, while my mother worked as a housekeeper. In that environment, I learned the value of hard work, but I also saw the gradual toll that life- and, for many of us, our work- can take on the body.

My path to massage therapy led me to the Albuquerque School of Healing Arts, where I discovered how meaningful bodywork can be as a form of care. Massage gives me a way to be present, useful, and of service while helping people slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and find relief from the tension they carry.

My work is grounded in traditional Swedish massage and shaped by influences from polarity therapy, Zen shiatsu, sports massage, trigger point work, and assisted stretching. Rather than following the same routine for every client, I tailor each session to the person in front of me, balancing relaxation with focused therapeutic work based on their needs that day.

Red Earth Relief was created to offer thoughtful, professional bodywork for people whose bodies carry the demands of work, travel, stress, and everyday life.
