About

Hi! I’m Drew, a Philadelphia licensed massage therapist, Thai massage and Shiatsu practitioner, and 500-hour yoga teacher. I’ve been practicing bodywork and teaching yoga since 2019.

My massage is therapeutically oriented. We focus on what you need and are experiencing. This could be pain, recovery from an injury or surgery, tightness and tension, or perhaps you just want to feel and move better! 

TRAINING

My training spans both Western massage and Eastern bodywork. I completed the East-West Massage & Bodywork program at CenterPoint Massage and Shiatsu Therapy School in Minneapolis in 2019, with training in therapeutic massage (deep tissue, sports massage, etc) and Japanese Shiatsu.

I continued my studies in Asia in 2026, with Traditional Thai Massage at International Training Massage School (ITM) in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Shiatsu with Ryotaro Hatanaka of Waho-An Nature in Tokyo, Japan. My Thai Massage education also includes the ThaiVedic Five Elements training led by Sebastian Bruno with Marisa Incelli in 2025.

My broader bodywork experience includes sports massage, deep tissue work, Myofascial Release (MFR, trained by John Barnes), Trigger Point Therapy, Swedish massage, cupping, assisted and guided stretching, and reciprocal inhibition/proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques. I love learning, and am usually pursuing some kind of continuing education at any given time!

I am a Pennsylvania Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and National Board Certified through NCBTMB.

YOGA

I have been practicing yoga regularly since 2009, as I was healing my relationship with my own body. Yoga taught me I could move through the world with more strength, stability, and flexibility, both physically and mentally. I have deep respect for this ancient practice.  After 10 years of personal practice, I completed my 200hr yoga teacher training from Radiant Life Yoga and my 500hr with Beloved Retreats in Minnesota. Today, my yoga teaching is mindful, musical, and informed by anatomy, movement, and spiritual tradition. I love helping folks find their own strength and mobility, quiet their minds, and find more joy in embodiment. I love designing flows based on clients’ unique bodies, needs, and intentions.

Before becoming a massage therapist/bodyworker and yoga instructor, I worked as a corporate sustainability consultant at a Big 4 firm. I earned my MS in Sustainability from Columbia University’s Earth Institute, and my BA in French Language & Literature and International & Global Studies from Brandeis University.

Outside of work, you can usually find me painting something colorful and strange, or hanging out with my dogs, Cleopatra and Nefertiti. 

Come see me for a session on the massage table, Thai and Shiatsu mat, or yoga mat. I’d love to work with you.
