After over 22 years of massage and bodywork, I thought it was time to bring more to my practice other than just massage and bodywork. Over the years, I have experienced watching people abuse their bodies through stress and an unhealthy lifestyle, including myself. I am living and loving my brand new me!

After over 22 years of massage and bodywork, I thought it was time to bring more to my practice other than just massage and bodywork. Over the years, I have experienced watching people abuse their bodies through stress and an unhealthy lifestyle, including myself. I am living and loving my brand new me! As a massage therapist, I have had the pleasure of working with many clients seeking different levels of massage and bodywork therapy. In 2004 and 2008, I worked with National Football League players looking to increase their longevity in the game. I was fortunate to teach and manage the massage therapy program at Everest College for 7 years. I have massage therapy graduates who are successful massage therapists loving what they do. Recently, my practice included doing a one year contract at Google. I worked with high tech industry clients who suffer from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Repetitive Strain Injury, Carpal Tunnel, Low Back Pain, and High Stress. In my practice, I address more than the physical pain and injury. I look at your lifestyle as a means of helping to relieve pain, injury, or even stress.

The newest segment to my practice is helping people discover the world of whole foods and plant based medicine. I coordinate tours with Whole Food Market for groups interested in understanding why we should eat non-GMO and organic. I am involved with the Green Smoothie Girl movement teaching people how to get 10-15 servings of vegetables and fruit in their diet. Subsequently, I have converted my home to a non-chemical non-synthetic home using doTERRA essential oils for cleaning, aromatherapy, and plant-based medicine. I teach classes on how to make your own cleaning products, teas using essential oils, and how to replace your current medicine cabinet with plant-based medicine. Total Wellness!!!
Why did I become a massage therapist health educator? My mother suffered from numerous strokes before she died. I watched her lose her will to live and fight for her life. I did not think that I would be on the same unhealthy destructive road, but I was quickly on it. In 2011, I turned my life around by adopting eating whole foods and getting some movement in my lifestyle. I decided to move towards a career as a full time massage therapist health educator. I no longer suffer from the stress of working in a corporate society. I still cannot believe how much stress I carried in my life. Now, I have time to do my favorite things like spending time with friends, walking on the beach, hiking on the trails in Pleasanton, and participating in 5K races. I AM LIVING MY BEST LIFE WELL!
