Tell us about your education and continuing training.

I attended Twin Rivers Therapeutic Massage Academy in Lewiston, ID. I was educated by experts in the fields of Anatomy & Physiology, Kinesiology and Pathology. I had hands-on training in Swedish, Deep tissue, Trigger point massage, Myofascial release, and Lomi Lomi.

How did you discover massage therapy and what attracted you to it?

I was drawn to therapeutic massage through a deep respect for its practitioners as well as a desire to pursue a career that had a positive impact on people. I have struggled with pain, stress and anxiety for years. Relieving others of these conditions is very rewarding.

What do you want people to know about their bodies and self-care?

Your mental health has a direct impact on your physical health. Addressing stress and anxiety is a key factor in improving your well-being. Massage therapy is an effective way to reduce these conditions.

What is your favorite part of the body to work on?

Years of manual labor have led to chronic pain in my shoulders, lower back, legs, and feet, giving me a deep understanding of these challenges. It’s incredibly rewarding to focus my bodywork on these areas and witness the positive impact it has on my clients.

Favorite thing to do outside of bodywork?

Spending time with my son. Nerding out over Sci-Fi and Fantasy, particularly Star Trek, Harry Potter and Anime.
