I was born right here in Waterloo, IA, a graduate of East High School. I attended Iowa State University, where I received my bachelor's degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. While attending Iowa State, I spent a summer living in China, where I traveled and practiced my Mandarin. After college, I moved to Chicago, and then to Las Vegas, where I spent over ten years living there, working as a cook and a chef in the casino industry. I have taught cooking classes here locally, and have done restaurant consultation. My ultimate dream, however, has always been to be a massage therapist. Chefs feed your belly and your soul, but massage therapists, we get to help people on a whole other level. I moved back to the Cedar Valley, permanently, in November of 2015. That's when I decided it was time to pursue my dream of becoming a therapist. While enrolled in the massage therapy program here locally, I also worked for a franchise massage studio, so that I could learn as much as possible about how to run my own studio someday. 

Now that the doors to Frequency Massage are open, I am really excited to meet all the wonderful people that will cross my path on this journey. Each and every one of you has a unique personality and gift, and my job as a massage therapist, is to assist you on that path, whether it be to relieve stress, alleviate depression, or to help your constricted muscles to release, so that you can live a more pain-free lifestyle. 

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors as much as possible, reading, making art, exploring different cuisines, and listening to live music. Pretty much anything that allows me to sit back and enjoy all the things that life has to offer, whether it be new experiences, or tried and true habits. 

It is my hope that you will make an appointment here at Frequency Massage one of your new experiences, so that one day, it can be one of your tried and true habits :)
