About Me

I am here to facilitate healing experiences and help people feel empowered to take charge of their own wellbeing. I believe that our inherent human potential far exceeds the modern standard of 'normal health'. Every person has the capacity to experience real happiness, health, and inner peace when the body, mind, and spirit are working in harmony. By addressing your whole being with a variety of modalities, I hope to be a supportive step on your path.

Founder of VHB, NCBTMB Approved Provider

​

My experience in healing arts began while traveling in Asia, studying Buddhist psychology and eastern philosophy, and practicing meditation. In 2016, I arrived home from a 3 month solo trip, knowing I wanted a tangible way to share this ancient wisdom through bodywork...I just needed the right modality. 

 

In a moment of total synchronicity, I discovered Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage, and was instantly drawn to it because of its heart-centered approach and its capacity to go beyond standard massage, accessing the psychological and spiritual realms as well as the physical. Over the next few years, I dove in studying several lineages of Lomi with a handful of excellent teachers.

​

In healing sessions, I often incorporate meditation and breathwork with bodywork to facilitate transformational experiences for each person.

​

I founded VHB in 2016 and have had the pleasure of sharing Lomi all over Vermont and on some international yoga retreats. Since 2017, I have hosted and taught over 20 Lomilomi and Body Tune Up trainings. In 2023, I became certified as an Approved Provider through the NCBTMB so I can offer CE credits for my trainings. I absolutely love sharing these amazing modalities and ancient wisdom with as many people as possible to support the wellbeing of our community!

Benj creates a safe space and provides great support. My first exposure to breathwork was profound and the guidance, energy and body work helped me move inwards while also releasing physical tension in a safe space.

 

This experience led me to a healing session with Benj. It's difficult to describe with words, but it was a session that fully encompassed the physical with emotional and spiritual connection.

 

I was able to physically release, with greater realization, of what I needed to release mentally/emotionally. I feel lighter than I have in years and have noticed the benefits on my mental health and thinking patterns. The spiritual connection is beautiful and I feel so fortunate to have found this practice in VT. I highly recommend working with VT Holistic Bodywork!
