I have been a massage therapist over 15 years. I came to my career while I was at Oregon State University for Nursing, also working in the medical field as a medical assistant in an assistant living facility. I decided then that I wanted to help people more on the holistic side of things rather than treating symptoms with medications. So I changed my major and went to massage school. I believe a healing touch can be very therapeutic for the body to heal itself. I see myself as intuitive, feeling energy, pain, discomfort and help the body unwind and rebalance itself with guidance from my touch. I have worked at high end spa for six years in the Portland area, during that time I also kept busy at various private practices in McMinnville and Portland to build up my business.

I got my Intimal Education at Oregon School of Massage in 2006 ending in 2008 and licensed in 2009. I also have taken additional courses with my continuing education such as Pre-Natal Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Reflexology, Reiki, Cupping and Aromatherapy with Doterra essential oils. I’m currently training with Upleder Institute for Craniosacral Therapy which has allowed me to travel to Washington, California and Florida for extensive trainings. One thing about massage therapy is I’m always learning new techniques to customize massages for each individual needs.

I was born and raised in Salem, Oregon moved to Corvallis to go to Oregon State then moved back to Salem to finish massage school at Oregon School of Massage. I currently practice and live in Lake Oswego. Outside of massage I love traveling for long weekends or out of state for adventures to learn and see new things with my Wife and daughter. I’m involved in a dragon boat team based out of Portland, just wrapped up my seventh season. I love the water and travelling with the team to different places to compete. I’m also a huge Oregon State Football fan since I used to be in the color guard with the marching band in high school and in college as well as involved in a drum corps right after high school. So,you could say my favorite time of year is football season.

Look forward to meeting you and help you relax and decompress from life with a massage.
