Massage is the study of anatomy in braille.

I graduated from massage therapy school in 2005.  I have worked at home for 4 years, in a day spa for 6 months and at McColley Chiropractic for the last 5 years.  I took a year off of massage therapy this last year, and found that I miss it so much that I have to come back!  Massage Therapy is my passion, I love the people and being able to help them learn about what causes their pain and also help relieve that pain.  I continue to broaden my scope with continuing education classes.  As a suf...

I graduated from massage therapy school in 2005.  I have worked at home for 4 years, in a day spa for 6 months and at McColley Chiropractic for the last 5 years.  I took a year off of massage therapy this last year, and found that I miss it so much that I have to come back!  Massage Therapy is my passion, I love the people and being able to help them learn about what causes their pain and also help relieve that pain.  I continue to broaden my scope with continuing education classes.  As a sufferer of migraine headaches, I also have a deep understanding of how my clients feel and have dedicated several years of independant study to help relieve migraines and their causes and triggers. 

I am a lifelong learner and believe that learning enhances both my life and allows me to help others more fully.  If I don't know an answer or solution I will look it up and study it, so give me your input and ask questions!
I look forward to working with you all!
