Hello!
A born and raised Oregonian.
Originally from Klamath County, OR - I came to Corvallis in 2011 to complete a degree in Human Development and Family Sciences, and Queer studies. I have worked in higher education doing LGBTQ harm reduction, community engagement, and programming.
I worked for a local youth homelessness service organization providing Case Management and harm reduction work for youth in Benton, Linn, and Lincoln counties. During that time I also ran a pro-LGBTQ youth social group.
I obtained my LMT in the Summer of 2022 and have been operating my massage practice since! I specialize in emotional integration, Shiatsu, and deep tissue work. I came to this work after learning about how Trauma effects our entire system. I am working towards becoming a certified Somatic Experiencing practitioner and believe in the power of body work to support the resolution of traumatic events in our past.
I also host and perform as Drag Queen for a regular local event known as Dam Right Drag Night. I am open and honest about my involvement in the LGBTQ in the spirit of authenticity and deploying radical acceptance as a methodology for social change. I believe in celebration, community, communal healing, and personal growth.
