Anatomy and wellness were common topics growing up, there was always an emphasis on diet and exercise. However, my healing journey really kicked off in 2019, I began doing grounding and breathing techniques along with meditating. I realized "The power of pauses." I have found that the most impactful moments of massage for me, were found in moments of stillness. This led me to Reiki, which is a technique by simply placing a full hand on the recipient and being still. The warmth and energy radiating from the practitioners' hands is soothing and hypnotic.
After two years of practicing Reiki with friends, family, and myself. I found that I really enjoy helping others feel good, even if the relief is sometimes temporary, to see their gratitude was very fulfilling to me and I decided to become an LMT so I could practice this art more often.
I enjoy learning about healing, not just for others, but also so I can apply what I've learned for myself in my own daily life. When you come to me, I will be present with you and your healings needs, I will take time with a slow, melodic, artistic approach ranging from gentle to firm pressure. I am not an advocate of the "No pain, no gain" model, however, I am comfortable using elbows (and sometimes knees) to adapt to the pressure best suited for you.
My areas of specialization include (but are not limited to):
- Swedish
- Signature Massage
- Reiki
- Manual Lymph Drainage
- Harmony Massage
- Thai Massage
- Reflexology
- Scalp Massage
Additional Certification include:
- Sound Healing

I'm currently enrolled in college and my pathway is geared towards Acupuncture or Ayurvedic Wellness (still deciding). I'm very inspired by Energy Channels, I.E. Qi, Chakras, Doshas, Marmas and Meridians. I would like a career that envelopes healing by frequency and vibration.

Thank you for considering me as your next Massage Therapist. The journey is yours, but you don't have to take it alone.
