Simply send a message to begin. All first-time sessions require a brief Zoom consultation prior to scheduling. This is to ensure mutual clarity, understanding, and alignment.

Important to Note:
This is not a random “on demand,” “on-call,” or after-hours service. I do not respond to last-minute or late-night requests.

I choose to be very clear: although I’ve completed all licensing requirements, I do not align with mainstream marketing strategies or conventional business tactics. I’ve seen more within the so-called “industry” than I care to elaborate on here. Much is overlooked, and the social “ethics” surrounding massage remain vague and limited. 

I've observed and overheard many individuals and institutions that treat massage primarily as a way to make "lots of money with this business" and fuel the economy. On the surface, it may appear to be a reputable profession, but navigating it with integrity and plain level-headed humanity requires deep discernment and utmost, uncompromising honesty. This of course means working diligently to clear mental ignorance. The truth is, holding a license does not guarantee ethical and non-harming behavior. Harm can, and does occur all the time is this work, whether through exploitation (including human trafficking/slavery for profit), sexual misconduct, or unhealthy dynamics that cause client dependency under the guise of customer service.

(as the sayings go, the fruit will show, we reap what we sow, and there are causes and consequences for every action)

That’s all I’ll say on that. 

I took a necessary pause to sort through all I was witnessing in the world. I’m not interested in performing as a “good person” for the sake of appearances. I understand how easy it is to fall into harmful patterns, even with good intentions, if one isn't careful and awake.

So I’ve committed to a steady, wholehearted path: to search the heart and study the mind with both discipline and willingness to not overlook or deny anything. There’s no need to be harsh or punishing when facing the deeper, hidden shadows...what’s needed is compassionate presence, patience, honesty, and a gentle courage.

Now, as I return to dedicated practice, I do so with renewed clarity - committed to communicating honestly and remaining uncompromisingly direct and truthful in both words and actions. It’s not always easy, but it’s a path worth walking.

Meditation clears the mind of what is unnecessary. It loosens attachment to mental formations and restores the simplicity of presence. All that is created, each word, gesture, and moment, is for life, for now, and for the freedom of simply being.

I will not undermine my own livelihood simply because of the conditions that exist in society. At the same time, I walk alongside and support anyone who is committed to upholding the highest quality of care, ethics, and integrity in this field. When massage is understood as a true healing gift, we remember that it was never originally meant to be bought and sold like a commodity. Yet, it can still be shared and honored with inner reverence, nobility, humility and authenticity.

A license may belong to the state, and it does not stand above spiritual calling, true vision, or the deeper principles of the heart.

I do not work with individuals who are actively and willfully engaged in repetitive, harmful behaviors - those that cause damage to themselves or to society. This includes acts of violence, chronic and negligent substance abuse, theft or exploitation, cruelty toward children, animals, the elderly, or any vulnerable being, as well as extremist thinking patterns, manipulative behavior, or ulterior motives.

Sharing these boundaries openly is not to judge anyone, but to practice peace and clarity. The nature of life is subtle and sensitive, and it is essential that I wisely care for my own energy, heart, and the space I hold for others.

Both inner life and vocational practice are inseparably at one. I do not compartmentalize spiritual life from vocational practice and relationships. This path is lived, no a set of rigid rituals, commandments or obligations, but as a clear and joyful expression of understanding, responsibility, and unconditioned love. There's no attachment to reward or fear of punishment - just simplicity and freedom from confusion.

I honor and practice the Five Dhamma (Life Guidelines) - from direct insight and experience (the truth is self-liberating on so many levels)

Abstaining from harming living beings (including animals and natural environment)

This principle calls for a deep commitment to compassion and respect for all life. It invites us to cultivate kindness not only in our actions but also in our thoughts and intentions. By choosing non-violence, we create space for safety and peace, for ourselves and for others. This practice helps us recognize the interconnectedness of all beings and encourages a gentle approach to conflict, responding with care rather than aggression.

 Abstaining from taking what is not freely given

This principle centers on honesty and respect for the possessions and boundaries of others. It encourages us to appreciate generosity and fairness, establishing trust and harmony within our relationships and communities. By honoring what is freely shared, we develop gratitude and a sense of right relationship with the material world, reducing greed and cultivating contentment.

Abstaining from sexual misconduct

This principle emphasizes integrity and responsibility in intimate relationships, including honoring life boundaries by not intruding upon or violating anyone’s sexual or creative energies. It invites us to act with care, respect, and honesty, ensuring that our interactions are consensual and nurturing. Maintaining these commitment supports trust, emotional safety, and mutual respect, nurturing connections that are honest and free from harm.

Abstaining from false or harmful speech

This principle encourages mindful communication rooted in truthfulness and kindness. It reminds us that our words have power, to heal or to hurt. By speaking honestly and compassionately, and by listening deeply, we create space for understanding and connection. Avoiding deceit, gossip, or harsh language helps maintain harmony and trust in our relationships and communities.

Abstaining from intoxicants that cloud the mind

This principle supports clarity, awareness, and presence by inviting us to avoid substances that impair judgment and mindfulness. By maintaining a clear mind, we are better able to respond skillfully to life’s challenges, cultivate insight, and engage fully with the present moment. This clarity also strengthens our ability to live ethically and compassionately.

These principles are not rules imposed from the outside or from some distant entity, they are the natural inner ground from which genuine healing, trust, and presence can arise. They are practiced without compromise, not from rigidity but from love.

Please take time to review the ethical and moral foundations of this practice. I am highly intuitive and discerning and will not engage with any behaviors, coercive, overt or manipulative, that compromise deep integrity.

If I need to decline a request, it is never from a place of judgment, rejection, or discrimination. It is simply a matter of alignment, resonance, and the practical capacity to support meaningful transformation. Some individuals are not ready or willing to accept full responsibility in life and in such cases, I may choose not to proceed with sessions. 

I hold the values of unconditional acceptance, human dignity, and loving care, even toward those who have caused harm. That said, this practice is not about absorbing others’ trauma or carrying burdens that are not mine to carry. It's not a practice of endless servility and unbalanced self-sacrifice. 

I am not a "professional healer” in the commercialized sense. I do not offer wellness entertainment, "soul fixes,” magical promises, or illusion-based services. 

Energetic compatibility matters. I do not serve everyone indiscriminately and hold full respect for healthy discernment, energetic boundaries/hygiene, and resonant connection.
