Originally from central New York, I came to the Raleigh area by way of Boston in 1995 after college. I began my professional career as a computer aided design drafter, and I have worked with various construction companies in the Raleigh area. The transition to becoming a massage therapist began in 2009 when I asked myself, "What is your dream job?" It didn’t take long for me to realize that I had been doing the “dream job” since high school.

I decided that I needed to learn more about massage, and get certified, so I could help others professionally. After working full time and going to night school (The Medical Arts School), I completed the licensing exam in January 2011. After working two, sometimes three jobs at the same time over the next few years, I decided to focus on massage full-time. I started Mindful Balance Massage in April 2016.

Using a range of techniques and pressures, I customize each session to meet the client needs at the time of the service. Techniques include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, and SMRT (spontaneous muscle release technique).

My other interests include working with local theatre groups, Irish dancing, cross-stitching, writing, reading and traveling.
