"A better, healthier way to be well."

"A better, healthier way to be well."
"Passionate about healthy living."
"Massage Therapist. Life Changer."

I am a Board Certified Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB) professional, which represents the highest voluntary credential a massage therapist can achieve in the field—surpassing state licensure. Board Certification reflects a commitment to advanced education, ethical practice, and lifelong professional growth, aligning with the standards set by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).

To earn this certification, I met rigorous requirements including:

  • 750+ hours of massage education
  • 250+ hours of hands-on professional experience
  • Criminal background clearance
  • A passing score on the Board Certification Exam
  • Agreement to uphold NCBTMB’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice

This designation demonstrates my advanced assessment and critical thinking skills, as well as a deep dedication to the well-being of my clients.

I am also a Certified Medical Exercise Specialist through the American Council on Exercise (ACE), with over 20 years of experience in rehabilitation, strength training, and conditioning. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with musculoskeletal injuries, cardiovascular, and pulmonary conditions.

As someone who deeply understands the nature and cycle of pain, I have developed a unique style of Clinical Medical Massage, combining my expertise in therapeutic massage with advanced exercise rehabilitation techniques. I am licensed in the state of Michigan and nationally certified by the NCBTMB.

Through ongoing continuing education, I’ve trained in:

  • Myofascial Release (MFR1 – Dr. John Barnes)
  • Cupping Therapy (ICTA)
  • Lymphatic Drainage Technique
  • Craniosacral Therapy
  • Deep Tissue & Sports Massage
  • Prenatal Massage

These modalities allow me to provide integrated, evidence-informed care for pain management and functional restoration.

My business, MyoRelief Massage Therapy & Wellness, was born from my passion for helping others heal. I believe in empowering individuals through increased awareness of their health status and providing education on effective strategies for achieving optimal wellness.
