I'm not just a massage therapist, I am a facilitator of healing.

Becoming a massage therapist was a calling not a first choice for a career.  After my service in the Army I was looking into a career as an interior decorator, however God had a different plan.  At a church service a friend of mine (and massage therapist) came over and asked if she could work on my shoulder and neck.  She noticed that I was all "crinked" up from holding my infant.  In that moment I new that becoming a therapist was my calling and the next day I researched local massage progra...

Becoming a massage therapist was a calling not a first choice for a career.  After my service in the Army I was looking into a career as an interior decorator, however God had a different plan.  At a church service a friend of mine (and massage therapist) came over and asked if she could work on my shoulder and neck.  She noticed that I was all "crinked" up from holding my infant.  In that moment I new that becoming a therapist was my calling and the next day I researched local massage programs.


My journey as a therapist has been a windy road and in my opinion I feel that it has made me a better therapist; I'll start at the beginning.

I knew that I wanted to start my own business and I had an independent contractor agreement with the chiropractor that I interned with as soon as I graduated.  Two months after graduation and getting a running start on my business a box truck cut off my husband and I while on his motorcycle.  We were blessed to not be killed, my left hand was crushed, my molars were crushed and I sustained a TBI that I live with to this day along with daily chronic pain.

Understanding what it's like living with pain and ways to relieve pain and live a healthier life has helped me to ask the questions of clients to understand what they are going through and what I can do to help them, through not just my training but my experiences as well.  I continue to learn new modalities to add to my knowledge and I am planning and in the hopes for the future to build and open my own wellness center.

Amber is very skilled. I always feel great when I leave there. I walk out like a zombie. haha. The ambience is always relaxing and serene.

I go regularly to alleviate pain from fibromyalgia. It is one of the most effective treatments I have found. Amber is always learning new things about massage, and has found new treatments since I began going in 2011 that have helped even more. I was in a bad car accident in 2015. My hip was badly affected and took 2 years to heal. My massages were a significant factor in that healing. Highly recommend!

Amber listens and makes effort to address my most troubled pain areas. She also provides helpful exercise choices.

Carpe Diem's new location is amazing! Amber is a fantastic massage therapist. I drive approximately 8 hours each way, once a month to get a massage from her and wish I loved closer so I could get one more often because I really need it

Amber is fantastic! She's extremely knowledgable and great at explaining her methodology. She's also relentless at working out knots. The office is not a Vegas resort. But, it won't matter.

The atmosphere at Carpe Diem is welcoming and relaxing. Amber takes the time to learn and understand your needs and medical history. She is amazing at what she does and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of massage therapy.
