My personal experiences with pain deeply influenced my journey to becoming a massage therapist in 2013. While working as a chiropractic assistant in 2009, I experienced a sharp pain on the right side of my neck that traveled down my right shoulder. It felt like a crook, and I couldn't turn my neck. An MRI revealed that I had a cervical herniated disc. This experience gave me a profound understanding of pain and strengthened my commitment to helping others find relief. I'm thankful for my many years in chiropractic care, which provided me with invaluable insights into the body and its mechanics. Just like our vehicles, our bodies require routine maintenance, highlighting the importance of massage therapy not just as a luxury, but as an essential component of overall health.

Over the years, my practice has flourished in diverse settings, from the tranquil ambiance of spas to the rehabilitative environments of chiropractic clinics. My expertise has grown to encompass a range of modalities, including specialized care in prenatal massage, sports massage, Swedish techniques, and medical massage focused on addressing conditions such as plantar fasciitis, TMJ dysfunction, and sciatica.

Among the many rewarding experiences, one stands out: the unexpected opportunity to work with a celebrity who, in their anonymity, offered enthusiastic compliments and a heartfelt hug. This moment, both humbling and a little star-struck-inducing, underscored the profound impact of skilled touch.
 

What I cherish most about my career is the connections with the individuals I've had the privilege to help. While clients often express gratitude for the relief and healing they receive, the truth is that each interaction has enriched my life immeasurably. Their stories and their trust have been a constant source of inspiration.

Looking to the future, my commitment remains steadfast: to continue learning, to refine my skills, and to make a positive impact on the well-being of each person I have the honor of working with, one body at a time.
