Relax and Restore your health today

I have been in the medical field for 15 years. I have always had a desire to help people. Through CNA work, EMT and Nursing I struggled to have more hands on helping clients. My search was over when I enrolled at Baker College of Cadillac in the Therapeutic Massage Program. I completed my Certificate of Therapeutic Massage and Associate in Applied Science. I then took the National Exam through NCTMB for National Certification as well as receiving my State of Michigan License.

I have been in the medical field for 15 years. I have always had a desire to help people. Through CNA work, EMT and Nursing I struggled to have more hands on helping clients. My search was over when I enrolled at Baker College of Cadillac in the Therapeutic Massage Program. I completed my Certificate of Therapeutic Massage and Associate in Applied Science. I then took the National Exam through NCTMB for National Certification as well as receiving my State of Michigan License.

I began teaching the Massage Program at Baker and have taught for three years. What a great joy to be able to share my knowledge and passion for massage. In the fall of 2016 I will begin teaching at Mind Body Institute in Traverse City. 
I have worked in the spa setting at Crystal Spa as well as the chiropractic setting at Discover Massage. It has always been a dream to one day open my own practice to encompass all of the benefits of both settings for optimal health and healing. 
I am a life long learner as well as an educator in massage and always strive for the best outcomes for my clients.
