I became interested in a career in Massage Therapy because I wanted to be of service to others. I have always been an empathetic person and I enjoy connecting with people in meaningful ways. I am so grateful for the satisfaction I receive helping others through therapeutic touch.

I attended the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2004 and have been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2005. I have been licensed in Utah, Alaska, and now in my home state of Ohio. My program included training in Swedish Massage, Sports and Russian Sports Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Structural Integration, Reflexology, Craniosacral Therapy, Acupressure, Seated Massage, and Hydrotherapy.  I draw from every area of my training to provide each client with an individualized treatment session.           

Immediately after graduation, I worked in the Chiropractic setting providing massage therapy sessions as well as assisting the Doctors. I gained valuable experience working with clients suffering from a variety of chronic and acute painful conditions. 
 
Later, after the birth of my first son in 2006, I decided to study Pregnancy Massage. At this time I also became a certified Massage Doula and as an Infant Massage Instructor. As a Massage Doula I support women physically and emotionally through their labor and birth experience. I have attended over 60 births as a doula and and apprentice midwife. I offer education and massage services to women throughout all stages of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

I continue to learn new skills and modalities to incorporate into my practice to better serve my clients. I always customize each session to meet each person's individual needs.
