I am committed to continuous education, which allows me to offer the best possible care. Over the years, I have completed advanced training in various techniques, including deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. I have also enjoyed learning specialized methods such as Kansi Vatki, a unique foot massage using copper bowls, Jin Shin Do acupressure, and hot stone massage with serpentine stones. I am confident in my expertise and excited to utilize these powerful techniques to promote the well-being of my clients.

How did you discover massage therapy and what attracted you to it?
My grandmother was the first to notice my talent for massage when I was about 10 years old. I used to massage her neck and back, and she would tell me I’d make a great massage therapist. Years later, in my early twenties, I saw a commercial for Ashmead Massage School. It caught my interest, so I decided to learn more. When I visited, I was amazed by how calm the school felt. I loved it right away and knew it was the right path for me.

What do you want people to know about their bodies and self-care?
When you meet me, I want to emphasize that you only have one body in this lifetime. It's crucial to prioritize your well-being by choosing self-care tools and services that nurture you. Remember, investing in yourself is a vital step—because you truly deserve it!

What is your favorite part of the body to work on?
Throughout my 24 years of experience, I've come to realize that I have a deep appreciation for all aspects of the body. Everyone is unique, which makes every encounter fresh and intriguing. This variety allows me to step into a detective role as I explore the reasons behind people's struggles. I find great fulfillment in helping others feel lighter and more at ease, alleviating their burdens and enhancing their well-being.

Favorite thing to do outside of bodywork?
In the summer and fall, I absolutely love being outdoors! There's something special about puttering around in my garden or going for hikes with my family. When the weather cools down and winter rolls in, I find joy in relaxing with some great music, appreciating beautiful art, and sipping on warm tea. I also enjoy listening to the gentle sound of rain or watching the snowflakes dance as they fall. And nothing beats cuddling up in my cozy cabin while the wind rustles outside!
