In Pursuit of Excellence

My Philosophy

I am committed to making a profound difference in the lives of those I work with by creating a moment in time—a space of calm and peace where balance is restored, and healing and awakening can unfold for the mind, body, and soul. Everything is connected. Mental, physical, and emotional stress create a toxic environment that compromises well-being. Choosing to embark on a healing journey from the inside out is vital to living a full and vibrant life.

Martha’s Vineyard, with its unspoiled beauty and slower pace, provides the perfect setting for deep healing. The island’s natural serenity infuses my work, allowing each session to be an immersive experience that harmonizes the body and mind.

My Sessions

Let your journey to wellness and self-healing begin here. I am a European and Hawaiian-trained therapist based on Martha’s Vineyard, specializing in wellness massage and bodywork for deep relaxation, balance, therapeutic benefit, and healing.

In today’s world of over stimulation—constant screens, calls, texts, and daily demands—intentional relaxation is not a luxury; it is essential. My sessions offer a sanctuary from the noise, providing a deeply therapeutic experience that supports a well-rounded, wellness-focused lifestyle.

My Location or Yours

I offer sessions in a tranquil, private studio on Martha’s Vineyard, where the island’s peaceful atmosphere enhances the healing experience. For those who prefer, I also provide in-home, hotel, and retreat-based sessions, bringing the restorative benefits of bodywork to you.

What Makes Me Unique?

  • Unwavering Commitment to Excellence – Dedicated to exceeding client expectations with every session.

  • Award-Winning Massage Therapy – Recognized for exceptional skill and service.

  • Consistently Rated 5 Stars – A trusted provider with outstanding client feedback.

  • Nationally Certified & Globally Trained – Expertise in both European and Hawaiian bodywork traditions.

I work to make each experience exceptional and give 110% of my energy. I pay great attention to detail in an effort to show you how truly honored I am that you would choose to come to visit me. I strive to create a peaceful sanctuary wherein you are free to unwind and leave your stresses for the time that you are here. From soothing gentle aromatherapy scents, heated table warmer, fresh linens, peaceful music and gentle light which combine to create a calming passive environment. I use only an all-organic sweet natural coconut oil or expeller pressed almond oil from raw almond kernels. It is exceptionally rich in fatty acids. It is quite expensive and so naturally pure that it can be ingested. Each session is finished with steamed warm towels and a rosewater mist. Thank you for your interest in Healing Hands. I look forward to your visit!
