Practice Philosophy I’ve had the chance to work with a wide range of clients, from dedicated corporate desk workers and fitness enthusiasts to professional athletes and teams. I had the honor of working and traveling as a massage therapist for the PWHL Seattle Torrent during their 2025 inaugural season. I've also worked with the teams in the NWSL, including the Seattle Reign, plus teams from NCAA, FIFA, MLS, and even NFL athletes!

My philosophy is to empower clients to achieve peak performance and optimal well-being by integrating massage therapy with a long background in strength training. With a deep foundation in competitive sports and exercise science, I am dedicated to delivering outstanding care and guidance. I am committed to supporting both local fitness enthusiasts and professional athletes on their health and wellness journeys with passion, expertise, and a holistic approach.

Why I do what I do As a competitive athlete, I struggled to find a massage therapist who understood the demands of training. I prioritize targeted massage for my body, regardless of the ambiance. This sentiment is shared by fellow athletes and friends. While lavender scents and relaxing music are appropriate for other spas, my business, Tiny Ninja Massage, emphasizes simplicity and directness, focusing on the therapeutic experience.

A little bit about me: hobbies, family, interests  

I’m a proud PNW native, hailing from Bellevue, WA (I grew up in the 80/90s before you start to judge ). My dad was a sports enthusiast, so I grew up active playing many sports including soccer, tennis, basketball, and wrestling. I also lifted weights to gain an advantage in performance, which sparked my passion and journey into the science and philosophy of strength training. I went to Washington State University and earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. During college, I started judo and competed for about 10 years, eventually making it to the 2008 Olympic Trials in Las Vegas, NV. After retiring from judo, I joined a local CrossFit gym to satisfy my competitive spirit and became a certified CrossFit instructor. While competing in CrossFit, I was able qualify for 4 CrossFit Regionals and 1 CrossFit Games. I’m still training hard and learning new things every day.

When I’m not at the gym or doing massages, I enjoy being active outdoors. In the winter, I spend as much time snowboarding as possible. And during the warmer months, I enjoy hiking, cycling, or participating in some local triathlons.
