After being in a car accident, I was taken to a massage therapist to relieve stress in my muscles from the impact of the accident. After the massage, I had flu like symptoms for 12 hours, slept in a deep sleep and woke up feeling wonderful. It was then, that I knew I wanted to be able to help people flush stressful toxins from there bodies to help facilitate the body to heal itself.
I have been a massage therapist for 17 years. I received a 1000 hour certification from Cortiva Institute (formerly: Desert Institute of the Healing Arts) Tucson, AZ. Afterwards, I returned to the same healing institute to become a Pre-natal Massage Teaching Assistant and then an Instructor for Spa Massage. I worked at the the prestigious Canyon Ranch Health/Destination Spa in Tucson, AZ for 4 years. It is here that I studied with Elaine Stillerman LMT, author/creator of Mother Massage, to become certified in prenatal massage.
Shortly after moving to Missouri I began studying Reiki and is currently at a Reiki II Level. I believe the body is capable of healing itself without the use of drugs, it just needs a touch in the right direction. Whether it be swedish or deep tissue, you will receive the benefits of increased relaxation, increased immunity, increased circulation, better body posture and greater self esteem.
I am living in Missouri with my husband and two children. Our family loves to ride bike, hike, watch movies and play board games. I cross fit, use yoga and meditation to ground myself and love a good book.

1000 Hour Massage Certification
I was extremely lucky to have worked at this beautiful spa for 4 years. While at Canyon Ranch, I learned ayurvedic treatments (Shirodara, Abyunga), trained in specialty spa treatments and was certified in Prenatal Massage.
My experience with Canyon Ranch, led me back to school to become a Teaching Assistant for Prenatal Class and then an Instructor for Spa Massage. My students learned proper body mechanics for themselves and positioning techniques for clients as well as the different types of spa massage and management that they would interact with once outside of school.
