My ongoing training is in osteopathic manual therapy, advanced pelvic bodywork, visceral manipulation, and trauma-informed care. At 17 years into practice, I made the choice to eliminate all full body relaxation massage services and only offer treatments in manual therapy and internal pelvic bodywork.

To my knowledge, I am the only LMT in the Corvallis area offering internal pelvic treatment. If you desire to schedule an appointment and do not see any availability on the online schedule, please contact me to be placed on a waiting list and we will get you scheduled as soon as possible.

It is my honor to be of careful and joyful service to our community in the Mid-Valley through Burnett Bodywork and the Pelvic Wellness Collective.

General Education

My continuing education includes: visceral (organ) manipulation (levels 1-4 with the Barral Institute as of 2023), internal pelvic floor (2020-2023), manual lymphatic drainage, scar tissue remediation, muscle energy technique (PNF), gua sha (scraping), stretching anatomy and active release, Thai massage, energy medicine, and trigger point therapy. I also train quarterly with my professional mentor, Dr. Tobin Rummel, D.O of Ambassadors Health Alliance.

My favorite nouns are sunrise, sunset, and chocolate. My favorite verbs are backpacking, earthing, and dancing. I am a circle keeper and honored to be held in community in both Corvallis and Bend. I have a deep history of trauma and healing, and my greatest joy is being mom to four fantastic little people.
