I am the sole proprietor of Open Space and previously the co-founder of Laughing Lotus. After more than 20 years of body exploration through a diversity of yoga trainings, it is not a coincidence that I was introduced to and fascinated by the practice of Thai bodywork in 2011. After 3 trainings with my beloved Thai teacher and Yoga co-teacher, Lindsey Britt, I was inspired to learn more. This led me to host Suka Wong of Lotus Palm in Quebec and Sarah Yovovich from southern California.
Thai massage makes sense to me, as it so clearly relates to the ‘bodywork’ of Yoga. Both rooted in the sacred and ancient text, the Vedas, it is no wonder that they are linked again in growing popularity now. As with teaching yoga, every time I share this Thai dance with a willing receiver, I feel peaceful, present and grounded. It is a practice to give and when lucky, also to receive. Thai feels like a fair trade where all parties come away with a sensation of serenity and well being –we both get a stretch and a chance to step out of the chaotic noise of daily life.
I happily offer Thai Reflexology, Ashiatsu (on the mat) and prenatal Thai sessions as well.
Aside from Yoga and Thai bodywork, I am passionate about raising my 2 young citizens, hiking with my 4 k9s, gardening, swimming, dancing and playing in our wonderful Chugach backyard.
