About me
Training with purpose.
Working toward performance.
I’m a Clinical Massage Therapy student at the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville. I expect to complete NHI’s comprehensive 800-hour Core Massage Therapy Program by July 2027 and become eligible to apply for certification through the California Massage Therapy Council. I plan to continue into NHI’s 450-hour Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy program, pursuing the full 1,250-hour training path. HAWI Performance is the practice I’m building around athletic recovery, functional movement, and thoughtful, client-specific bodywork.
REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE
Working with Division I athletes
Through my sports medicine massage externship at Saint Mary’s College of California, I work with Division I athletes across multiple sports. The experience is sharpening my ability to listen, assess each athlete’s needs, and adapt sessions around training load, recovery, mobility, and performance.
WHY THIS OFFER EXISTS
A presale that supports my education
I created the 100 for 100 offer for my birthday to help fund my remaining education, supplies, and transition into professional practice. In return, each supporter receives a transferable certificate for a 100-minute massage beginning July 1, 2027. Your support helps me complete the 800-hour Core program and continue toward advanced clinical and neuromuscular training.
By July 2027
