TULA Center for Bodywork

Introduction: I began my career in massage therapy in 2010, upon completion of my Certified Massage Therapy and Health Educator Certification from the National Holistic Institute in San Jose, CA, where I studied a variety of modalities--bridging the gap between traditional Western and Eastern styles of bodywork. My specialities include Therapeutic & Rehab massage, Sports massage, Thai Massage, Prenatal & Postnatal massage, Deep Tissue & Swedish massage. Continuing education in advanced pre/post natal massage, Esalen-style massage, and therapeutic myofascial bodywork has provided me with the opportunity to work closely with clients in need of advanced therapeutic work, due to injury or rehab as well as to provide the same access to much needed therapeutic work for pregnant clients, that is often not addressed in the normal course of prenatal massage sessions. In addition to being CO-Owner of TULA Center for Bodywork, I also work as a Master Massage Therapist at Santa Cruz CORE Fitness + Rehab, where I have been for over 7 years. When I made the choice to go back to school to get my certification in massage therapy, I did so with the goal of pursuing a new career that I would enjoy going to everyday; that would allow me the flexibility to spend quality time with my son; and one that would provide me an unending source of knowledge seeking and skill development. It has done just that and more for me! I love the work I do and am extremely grateful that I get to make a living helping others Find Balance in their Bodies, while maintaining Balance in my own Life as well!
