Angela believes all things are related and practices multi-sensory listening to consider the whole you–body, mind, and spirit/soul–when designing your individualized Asian Bodywork experience. At the heart of her body work is Zen Shiatsu, traditional Japanese bodywork fused with acupuncture theory and traditional Chinese medicine. She weaves in barefoot shiatsu, moxibustion, fire cupping, acupressure, gua sha, reiki, and essential oils based on your treatment goals, signs, symptoms, and requests.

Angela is constantly inspired by the miraculous human body and loves helping facilitate her clients’ paths to pain relief, physical & emotional wellness goals, and blissful relaxation. As an experienced mentor, coach, and educator, Angela loves the chance to collaborate and offer small, doable movement and lifestyle suggestions that can enhance your overall well being. 

In her freetime, Angela enjoys cycling, nature, yoga, meditating over matcha, and spending time with her family.
