After twenty-two years of military service and forty-three deployments, my path led me toward a different kind of mission—helping people reconnect with their bodies through therapeutic touch. Echoes Therapeutic Massage was created as a new chapter rooted in service, family, and the belief that healing and human connection should exist close to home.

This work is deeply personal to me. After years spent away, building a practice centered on presence and touch became a way to give back to my family and to create a life grounded in connection, stability, and care for others.

My formal massage therapy training began at the Georgia Massage School in Suwanee, where months of intensive study in anatomy, physiology, and hands-on technique shaped the foundation of my practice. During this time, I developed a deep respect for the exchange that occurs between practitioner and client and the powerful role intentional touch plays in both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Alongside my clinical training, I was introduced to Reiki through a personal session that left a lasting impression. That experience led me to continue my studies through apprenticeship in Reiki and related practices at Casa Dakini in Tijuana, where I completed my Reiki Master training. This additional perspective strengthened my work as a practitioner and deepened my own personal growth and healing.

Echoes Therapeutic Massage is also the result of countless hours transforming part of my home into a secluded studio and courtyard—an environment that continues to evolve into a calm, welcoming space designed to reflect the care and attention I bring to every session.

Today, my goal is simple: to partner with each client on their individual journey. Drawing on my life experience and professional training, I provide thoughtful, personalized care that supports the mind, body, and spirit—so the benefits of each session extend beyond the treatment room and into everyday life.
