Licensed Massage Therapist

Taylor’s appreciation of human anatomy and human physicality began long before she became a massage therapist.

She trained as a dancer and, for over a decade, enjoyed a career with several professional ballet companies.

During that time, she struggled with pain associated with scoliosis, nerve entrapment, and repetitive or overuse muscle injuries.

Pain management became an integral part of her life. She regularly used self-massage, foam rolling, and active stretching but sometimes saw a professional therapist and often massaged her colleagues. She came to see massage therapy as a way of exploring her interest in anatomy and movement that was kinder to her body.

Taylor loves to set and achieve goals with her patients, often with free and comfortable movement as a criterion.

Taylor is passionate about working with patients living with irregular nerve function and/or pain. Conditions such as: nerve impingements, nerve entrapments, peripheral neuropathy, neuroglia, Fibromyalgia, and Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), also referred to as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

Taylor strives to create a space of active curiosity/problem solving, with tailored treatments acknowledging and honoring how nerve pain/irregular sensation behaves uniquely in every body.

Taylor also enjoys working with athletes and helping them with recovery from fatigue and injury prevention. In the future, Taylor is very interested in pursuing specialty certification in manual lymphatic drainage and neuromuscular therapy.

As a child, Taylor lived all over the country with her family and their eccentric collection of alpacas. In 2011, she moved to Tucson. She likes to say that Tucson adopted her. Some of her interests include jalking (jog-walking) in the desert, community service, cycling, loving animals, and her yoga asana practice.
