My journey with massage began in 2009, when I decided it was time for a change and went back to school to become a massage therapist. The funny thing is that I had never even had a massage before. I was intrigued by the idea that you could help someone mentally and physically, but more importantly, help improve their quality of life without being a doctor.

The more I learned about massage and the many benefits it has to offer, the more passionate and driven I became about it. That’s when I knew I not only wanted to be a massage therapist but was destined to help people through massage.

Over my fourteen years in the massage industry, I have had the pleasure of working in a few establishments where I was given the chance to develop my flow and refine my techniques in which I work today. As my career grew over those years, so did my desire to learn more as well which led to learning things such as cupping, hot bamboo, and thai herbal ball. Although my clients enjoy how these types of massages deliver a unique experience while still receiving benefits like a traditional massage, I could see that my clients needed more. I wanted to be able to help on multiple levels and not just through massage and bodywork.

After much thought and research, I decided in order to take things to the next level I wanted to learn something that would help address the mind, body, and spirit all while teaching people how to regain control of their health goals. This led me to become an ayurvedic practitioner, yoga teacher, level II reiki practitioner, and certified in sound therapy. Now, no matter what my client's needs or ailments are, I am able to help physically, mentally, and energetically.
