About
Over time, I became less interested in forceful approaches to healing and more interested in creating conditions where the body and nervous system could soften, reorganize, and reconnect in their own timing.
I am a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist based in western North Carolina, with additional training in scar tissue work, sound-based practices, and restorative approaches to nervous system support.
My work is grounded, relational, and shaped around careful listening rather than rigid formulas.
I'm especially drawn to working with people who are highly capable, highly adaptive, and carrying more than they often let others see.
Many arrive exhausted from holding tension, responsibility, grief, or long periods of over-managing themselves.
Part of this work is creating enough steadiness and space for the body to stop bracing so hard.
Outside of sessions, I spend time in nature, steward land, and continue exploring the relationship between sound, embodiment, rest, and relational presence.
Dedication
I dedicate this work to my mother, Virginia Rose Niles (6/17/36–1/29/15). She lived with remarkable dignity and strength while moving through profound trauma-related health challenges, and taught me deeply about compassion, resilience, and grace. I carry that with me in this work.
