National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Il geared my massage education to reflect a science based approach to the body and how to use massage in the physical rehabilitation of Chiropractic patients. NUHS is a well rounded natural medicine university including acupuncture, chiropractic and naturopathy as doctorate programs. I even had the privilege to study cadavers in my anatomy classes. I have added to that scientific foundation with energy and subtle techniques such as reflexology, autonomic balancing technique, craniosacral therapy and lymphatic drainage. I enjoy listening to the body through my clients feedback as well as subconscious feedback in the body to guide which technique is needed. I have learned a lot since graduating massage in 2002 and my Bachelors in 2005 (theater, I know, not related). And will always continue to study the amazing body. When I'm not massaging I am parenting 2 sons, recording audiobook narration, writing and performing stand-up, acting, teaching massage, riding motorcycles with my husband, playing with my dog, going to church, or watching a movie. I also love to travel and have visited 4 continents and 10 countries (yes, I include connecting flights and the US). My husband and I hope to own a small sport plane in the near future (within 5 years) for him to clock hours. End goal? Aviation Missionary. Live life like its the only one you get.
