Please note: I am currently working at full capacity, and cannot accept any new clients at this time. 

 

I was born and raised in Scotland and moved to the United States in 1991 after graduating from the University of Edinburgh. I hold a master’s degree in Communication Disorders from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina and worked for 18 years as a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist.

 

After experiencing the restorative powers of massage therapy as a client myself, I felt drawn to study more about the field and obtained my massage therapy certification from the Center for Massage and Natural Health in Asheville, NC in 2005.

​

Since then, I have maintained a successful private practice in Asheville, North Carolina, treating hundreds of people throughout my career. I make sure to attend many continuing education classes in various massage modalities to keep my skills sharp.

 

My true teachers, however, are my clients. I have found that the best healing happens when I listen attentively, encourage direct feedback, and avoid bringing my own "agenda" to the massage table.

 

I love learning how best to support each person's healing, and allow them to move towards relaxed, flexible, pain-free living. 

​

When I am not doing massage, I enjoy traveling, organic gardening, hiking, paddling, practicing yoga, making soap, reading, and hanging out with my extremely spoiled cats.
