Massage therapy wasn’t something I planned—it’s something I found myself being drawn into, step by step, until it became clear it was exactly where I was meant to be. After sixteen years in software engineering, my life began shifting away from analysis and into experience—away from thinking and toward feeling and presence. Yoga was my first doorway in, and massage became, in many ways, a form of assisted yoga—grounded in breath, presence, and deep internal awareness. What began as a personal practice deepened into a calling I never could have predicted—but one that now makes perfect sense.

I studied massage and bodywork at Bio-Chi Institute, a school grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine and qigong, where the first thing they taught us how to do is breathe. From the beginning, massage felt like meditation—first as a client, then as a therapist. My work now lives in that space. Breath, presece, and feeling are central to what I do.

I offer two main services: massage and bodywork. If you book a massage, you’ll receive a full-body Swedish massage tailored to your preferences—whether you’re seeking firm pressure or pure relaxation. If you book bodywork, we shift into deeper therapeutic territory. I specialize in my own technique derived from Myofascial Release (MFR) and Musculo-Tendonal Retraining (MTR)—techniques that facilitate lasting change. Bodywork is not just about how you feel during the session, but how you feel months later.

While some sessions are quiet and grounding, others are transformational. I intend to create space where emotional release, trauma unwinding, and deep integration unfold naturally. Many have never experienced work like this before. Some sessions are intense, so control words like “Too much” and “Stop” are essential. You’re always in charge of your experience—but you’re also invited to let go.

At Alchemy House, I’m expanding into new territory. Alongside bodywork and massage, I offer yoga, sound therapy, and Lucia Light N°03—a neural entrainment tool that supports inner journeying.

Every session is different, but my intention is always the same: to help you feel more open, more at peace, and more at home in your body.
