I became enamored with all things French after reading an article in GQ written by a woman. I was thirteen when the writer wrote of her summer in the south of France with her boyfriend. Together they traveled by foot from one town to the next. She and her beau fell asleep underneath a tree after eating cheese and drinking wine; I was forever besotted with that scene.

The simple yet beautiful experience shaped my idea of  rest. “Dimanche” is Sunday in French and I have named my practice after my favorite day of the week, filled with memories of its slower pace and the anticipation of the brunch du jour. It is my hope that during a session, my clients feel themselves slow down, find their breath, and rest.

I graduated from massage school in Kauai and am trained extensively in both connective tissue and somatic therapy, allowing me to address and hold space for clients when encountering physically and emotionally sensitive areas. I use advanced training in craniosacral therapy and combine it with visceral manipulation and M.E.T for treatments including, but not limited to: headaches, migraines, TMJ, back injuries, chronic pain, post surgical symptoms, indigestion, and upper and lower abdominal pain. Manual therapy has been proven to help for individuals seeking general well-being and relief from stress, insomnia and poor blood circulation. I believe craniosacral and manual therapy is a beneficial complimentary approach to your current medical needs. As a practicing meditator, I also guide clients using simple breathing techniques throughout their session to better integrate their treatment for lasting results.
