In 2017, Ana graduated from Virginia School of Massage in Charlottesville, VA. During her clinical hours, her professor placed me with a pregnant client after learning this was a possible niche that I wanted to explore. Since then her love for bodywork, especially in prenatal and postpartum, blossomed.

Throughout the varying job modalities she had, her passion for the anatomy of the body as well as the mind-body connection has stayed in the forefront of my practice. Ana previously worked with RVA Holistic PT in Richmond, VA for two years. While there, she deepend her knowledge of the body’s overall connection as well as prenatal and postpartum work, including breech release. Working in a holistic environment also gave Ana a further understanding of the body’s responses to stress and how best to address it. She have accomplished 1 of 3 courses in The Arvigo Technique of Maya Abdominal Therapy and is looking to complete the full course. 

Ana’s work modality consists of using a firmer, comfortable pressure to slowly release the superficial layers while listening to the body as to how deep it allows the work to go. I occasionally use cupping therapy, hot stones, myofascial and deep tissue/trigger point therapy. 

Out of the studio, I spend my time with my amazing husband and two daughters. I love to garden, write, bake yummy pastries, take photos and be outside in peaceful nature to recharge.
