I was first introduced to massage when I was 18 years old. One day I woke up with my neck so stiff, I was forced to smell my right armpit the whole day. Desperate for relief I found a local massage business where I had this magnificent licensed massage therapist “unkink” my neck and restored my range of motion. I was amazed and intrigued that in one hour, this woman was able to alleviate my pain and restore my body with just her hands and the knowledge of the human anatomy.   

I graduated from Everest Institute in 2007 and then became licensed by the State Medical Board of Ohio in 2008. I began my new career at the very massage business that had changed my life just a few years prior. However, with my expanding skill set and passion to help others, I felt like I was meant to make a bigger impact in the medical world. I sought out for a chiropractic office that shared my passion to help others while allowing me the freedom to treat patients in the manner I felt was most beneficial. Within just a few years, I tripled the number of patients and expanded the chiropractic office by developing one of the most successful massage programs with some of the most talented massage therapists in Columbus.  

I was contacted by UFC veteran and owner of Ronin training center Luke Zachrich about bringing the benefits of massage therapy to his gym so that the members can have easier accessibility to their rehabilitation needs.
