Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and my practice!

I was born and raised in Santa Clara, California. I'm the eldest of two daughters to my lovely parents who've been married for over 50 years.

I attended San Jose State University and received my bachelor’s in business administration. I had the opportunity to work for some of the biggest corporations in Silicon Valley. After my latest career as an Executive Administrative Assistant, I decided it was time for a career change. After much reflection, I chose Massage Therapy.

I attended De Anza Community College’s Massage Therapy program located in California. I have well over 800 hours of education and hands on experience.

We studied many different modalities including Swedish, Myofascial Release, and Table Shiatsu to name a few. However, the modality that really resonated with me was Lymph Drainage. Lymph Drainage is a very gentle modality that has been a game changer for many of the clients I have worked with. I look forward to adding prenatal massage, craniosacral, and neuromuscular therapies to my repertoire soon.

You might ask, “So why massage therapy?” I have seen and experienced firsthand many of the stresses that come with balancing a busy career and family. I know the stress that this can place on the body, mind, and spirit.

I know you have many choices when it comes to selecting a massage therapist. My approach to any new client is meeting him or her where they are at. I look forward to helping my clients return to a more relaxed state, so they can handle the stresses that life may throw at them.

So here are just a couple of reasons why I may be different from others you have seen in the past.

Firstly, your initial appointment includes a 10 to 15-minute consultation. I take your health and safety seriously. I ask all my new clients to complete a new client intake form (may be done online or in the office) which will include Medical History, your preferences, pain diagram, etc. I find that taking these few minutes to get to know each other are key to the beginning of a wonderful practitioner-client relationship

Secondly, I want to make this a very enjoyable and serene experience for you. All my massage treatments are designed to help you relax, rejuvenate, and feel refreshed. I am not your deep tissue kind of gal.

Thirdly, I chose “Open To Serenity” as my business name as many of us have so much going on at the same time that we forget to take time for ourselves. As a student, one of my beloved professors would tell us, “Don’t forget about self-care. You want to give the best of yourself, not what is left of yourself.”

I welcome you to take the time to give yourself permission to put yourself first.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
