A Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Personal Trainer, I hold certifications from the Physical Mind Institute, American Council on Exercise, Precision Nutrition, and the Florida School of Massage. I have received advanced training in Cranio Sacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute, as well as first and second degree Reiki attunements.

Over the past thirty years, I have worked closely with chiropractors, physical therapists, and other licensed massage therapists to develop my unique approach, and I continue to hone my skills and knowledge through continuing education classes.

My back story:

My love of movement began during childhood ballet classes. After suffering a back injury in college, I realized the benefits of integrating movement and massage. With great help from Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Pilates and Yoga instructors, dance teachers, and Physical Therapists, I became aware of my body’s chronic muscular tension patterns. During massage school, I was introduced to, and fell in love with, meditative and strength building movements like yoga, tai chi and qigong. After taking my first Pilates class, my almost daily lower back pain had disappeared. I was hooked!

I have experienced back pain on and off since I was a teenager. I love to dance, hike, run, lift weights, and MOVE my body! In the spring of 2015 (the year I turned 40 – uggghhh) I was diagnosed with a herniated disk at L5/ S1 (my low back). After suffering daily, debilitating pain for months, I found an excellent surgeon who repaired my herniated disk. After the surgery, I awoke pain free (hallelujah!). While my surgery was a success, my habituated movement patterns did not all magically disappear overnight.

My ongoing rehab plan includes therapeutic mobility exercises, along with challenging myself to lift weights, and move my body in ways that feel challenging but doable. I am continually retraining my brain by gently and repeatedly reassuring my body that yes, it is OK to move again. I receive regular massages, and do some combination of release work, stabilization, and mobilization exercises and/or Somatics every day. I am back to dancing, hiking, paddling and lifting heavy weights. Click here to read about my recent pull up goal.

I share my experience with you to let you know that if you are in pain, I feel ya. I have deep appreciation for those suffering from chronic pain or recovering from surgery.

You are not broken.

Healing is possible!

In 2023 we moved from the Sellwood neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, to East Vancouver, Washington. I’m currently seeing clients by appointment in their homes in both in Portland and Vancouver, and in my office in the Hazel Dell neighborhood.

All evening fitness classes and are held on Zoom.

I Love Anne! My Partner and I have been going to Anne for years. She is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. Not to mention has a great sense of humor! She creates custom packages/plans that work exactly for you. I have seen her mostly for massage but also have worked with her for personal training. She is both motivating and fun. I have had massages that were intense and problem focused as well as massages where I fell asleep they were so heavenly. Highly recommended!!
