I've always loved learning about the human body and helping others.  I decide to combine these two passions and pursue massage therapy.  I went to the Body Therapy Center and School of Massage in Swansea, Illinois in 2010. I currently work at thrive for Life in St. Louis with a great group of ashiatsu massage therapists, Chiropractors, and Nutritionists. I've had multiple jobs after graduating including Massage Envy, and traveling with the St. Louis Blues from 2012 to 2014.  Working so closely with professional athletes and their sports related injuries inspired me to learn and utilize Active Release Techniques in my own practice.  Active release techniques treatment is a hands on and case management system that allows a practitioner to diagnose and treat soft tissue injuries.  I firmly believe that this technique is the quickest and most effective way for treating chronic and acute muscle tension and pain, and is not only great for athletes but for any and everyone. Although I have been concentrating on A.R.T., I also enjoy having a relaxing and therapeutic element with my massage as well.
