I started college at UC Santa Barbara in 2001 as an Undergraduate in the Bio-psychology program.  After taking a few electives in the Art Department I quickly went to my counselor to switch to a double major in Sociology and Art Studio with a focus in Photography.  With digital photography just making it's entrance I feel lucky to be one of the last to have worked with film.  Inspired by my curiosity of humans and how our choices affect the dynamic lives we live, I spent 9 years photographing transients, hitchhikers, military bases and abandoned spaces for my personal projects. 
After years of receiving medical massage, I was familiar with the physical benefits in my body that massage had.  It was not until I went to Esalen Institute for an intensive massage training, that I fully realized the depth that massage effected my mind, body and spirit as a whole.  After this course I continued my live/work/study for two years and received over 500 hours of training with a focus in Esalen® Massage, Deep Bodywork®, Shamanic Massage and Energy Work.
