My love of massage began at the age of eight when my grandmother taught me how to give foot rubs, for purely selfish reasons of course, and my training took off from there. I have spent 10 years working in some of the best spas around the world and learning the healing methods of various cultures. While Spa Director at Verana Conde Nast Traveler voted us "One of the 10 Best Boutique Hotel Spas, 2005" and my 4 handed massage treatment "The Wave" is used to train therapists across the USA.

My love of travel probably began on my first cross country NY-LA trip when I was 3 and the movement has never stopped. From touching encounters with locals in Morocco and vistas seen from the tops of African mountains or the engulfing green of the Amazon, this world continually surprises me with its vast smallness.

After living in cities for so many years I moved to France and fell in love with the countryside and it's peace and people. Taking hikes everyday I found myself in touch with the moment to moment movement of nature and the healing that just being outside brings. Being able to pick wild berries, apples, nuts, mushrooms and salads I found myself creating delicious organic meals that kept me in touch with my body and my surroundings.
