• Anatomia is rooted in the belief that care is relational. The body is not separate from daily life, stress, injury, work, land, memory, or community. In the treatment room, this means we work together through structural bodywork, movement education, nervous system awareness, and client-centered care to better understand what your body is carrying and what kind of support may help.

    This approach is not about fixing a broken body.

    It is about listening to an intelligent, adaptive body and creating the conditions for more ease, mobility, trust, and connection.

  • The values behind Anatomia have been shaped not only in the clinic, but also in the backcountry. For more than 20 years, I have led wilderness expeditions across the Cascades, the Olympics, Alaska, and the Appalachians. These experiences bring together wilderness medicine, plant knowledge, and inclusive outdoor education, and they continue to shape how I think about care, responsibility, and resilience.

    In the backcountry, survival is not individual. It depends on attention, preparation, reciprocity, trust, and respect for land. These same values guide my broader work.

    Care is not something one person simply gives to another. It is something built through relationship, listening, skill, responsibility, and mutual participation.

    In 2018, I created Ecotopia Botanicals, a small-batch herbal project inspired by plants, collaboration, and mutual care. This work began during the years I spent exploring the wilds of Washington with my beloved wolf-dog companion, Minuit, and it continues now in Manchester, Washington, where I live among the forests with my dog, Sal.

    When I am not in the clinic, studying, or on the trail, I can often be found tending the garden, reading on the porch, riding my bike through the woods, or brewing a cup of tea. I draw inspiration from photography, woodcraft, plant medicine, and the writings of Haruki Murakami, Thich Nhat Hanh, Louise Erdrich, Ursula K. Leguin, and Italo Calvino.

    My work centers around how we might rebuild healthier, more reciprocal relationships among bodies, communities, land, and the more-than-human world.

    Anatomia is one expression of that larger commitment: a place where care is thoughtful, embodied, collaborative, and grounded in relationship.

  • All sessions are offered as 90-minute appointments. This allows enough time to settle in, discuss what is happening in your body, receive focused hands-on care, explore movement or self-care practices, and leave without feeling rushed. Each session is individualized and may include structural bodywork, therapeutic massage, movement education, nervous system support, and conversation about patterns contributing to pain, tension, or limited mobility.

In 2010, I founded Anatomia Physical Medicine, a healthcare practice rooted in the belief that healing is relational.

Through structural massage, herbal support, and trauma-informed care, I have come to understand that the body is never separate from the social and ecological worlds it lives within.

People carry stress, grief, labor, injury, history, and environment in their bodies.

A bit about your practitioner

I am a physical medicine practitioner, herbalist, outdoor guide, and student of Social Sciences whose work

explores the deep connections between healthcare, ecology, land, and community.

For nearly two decades, I have called the Puget Sound home, drawn to its wild diversity and the way forest, sea, and mountain meet. Whether I am moving through high desert landscapes, walking along the Pacific coast, tending a garden, or working with clients in a clinical setting, I am continually shaped by the natural world and its rhythms.

My path in healing and herbalism has been formed through both formal training and lived experience. I studied physical medicine at the Center for Health and Natural Medicine in Asheville, North Carolina, and began my clinical practice in 2008. My herbal education includes time at Cedar Mountain Herb School and the Integrated Institute for Herbal Medicine, along with hands-on work at Dandelion Botanical Company in Seattle, where I learned alongside master herbalists. I have spent many seasons farming at Singing Cedars Farmstead in Vermont, a biodynamic farm feeding local communities, an experience that deepened my understanding of sustainable agriculture, plant knowledge, and community health.
