I am a certified practitioner of Zero Balancing® and a Holistic Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist (Vodder Method). Both methods employ gentle, precise touch in well designed protocols for the entire body to amplify your health. My bodywork journey may have begun with dance classes as a teenager, or live drawing and sculpture classes in college, or bringing my taiji students into alignment with gravity with hands-on guidance. It certainly started with my first Zero Balancing (ZB) class in 1995. In 2004 I attended the Florida School of Massage, received my Florida massage license, and began my practice. In 2005 I completed ZB certification, and in 2012 the Core ZB Teacher training. Teaching ZB, and working with students and certification candidates is a great joy in my life. I’m a sixth generation Floridian. I’ve lived other places (Baton Rouge, New York City, Brooklyn, Charlottesville, and Charleston) and done other things (costume design and construction, administrative and executive assistant, and taiji teacher) before returning to Gainesville and starting this career.
