Welcome to Studio Selah.
I created Studio Selah with the belief that all humans deserve to feel at ease in their hearts and in communion with their bodies. For most of us, this is a lifelong love affair with notable volatilities.
We all have experiences that live cellularly in our bodies. Some stay far longer than they need. I hope the work we do together provides acknowledgement of these bodily tenants and respite from their sometimes adverse effects. This is the magic of Somatic Therapy and Compassionate Touch: to reacquaint with Self and find ease through benevolent tending to our minds, bodies and hearts.
I am a Mama, International Yoga Therapist (CYT1000), Foundation Trainer, iRest Facilitator, Massage Therapist and Reiki Master. I specialize in Neuromuscular, Deep Tissue, Stretch & Release and Oncology Massage as well as Pre-Natal and Infant Massage. I am also well versed in Myofascial Release, Structural Integration and Lymphedema Therapy. I shifted my attention to this work, after studying Psychology in community college and Kinesiology at Cal Poly University. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with clients and friends in this capacity since 2007 and adore building relationships and caring for people in my community.
My practice is facilitated through the teachings of many mentors and teachers, that I have had the honor to share time and space with: Nichala Joy Devi, Dr. Richard Miller, Tom Myers, Leslie Kaminoff, Monique Lonner, Ganga White, Phoebe Diftler, Tyann Linden, Dr.Eric Goodman, Brian Dorfman, Pema Chödrön, Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, Elena Brower and Dr. John Hannon. I am forever indebted to these wonderful humans. May their legacies continue to create peace and restore balance, through our work together.
Thank you for being here.
