Attuned and compassionate. A curious lifelong learner. Knowledgable and direct. Perceptive, creative and welcoming.
Angie is guided by a deep passion to serve others in their journey towards healthy, vibrant lives. With a wealth of knowledge in therapeutic bodywork, she partners with her clients to release areas of pain and stagnation and embody deeper states of clarity and ease.
Two decades of training and experience have yielded three significant teachers: Todd Jackson, Maka’ala Yates, and Jim Hackett. They have given her tools to work with the body in profound ways to release long held patterns and shift into a state of being where healing occurs. Their guidance has also assisted her own evolution as a practitioner in body, mind and spirit.
In addition to her bodywork practice, Angie has been assisting Biodynamic Massage and Craniosacral workshops since 2021. She’s passionate about helping others learn these deeply transformational forms of bodywork, both for the client and the practitioner.
Angie is dedicated to her own spiritual evolution to free herself from the self inflicted suffering that humans put on themselves. She desires to uncover her shadows, the repressed thoughts, feelings and concepts about ourselves that we don’t want to face. She endeavors to surrender her shadows, challenges, grief, physical pain, and more. Seeing, feeling and acknowledging the hidden gifts of life’s experiences, even tragic events, allows healing to occur. By letting go, higher states of consciousness may be embodied, including peace, joy and love.
Essential tools for her health and well being are yoga, mediation, hiking, strength training, and living in the present moment. She also loves being a mom to her daughter and Finnish Lapphund, cooking with seasonal ingredients. and spending time in nature.
