"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.
