I came to massage therapy first, as a client after a traumatic time in my life and in need of healing. The experience helped me in so many ways and impacted me greatly. From that, I made the choice to continue to pursue massage therapy for myself and also to pursue becoming a practitioner myself. It is my goal to give to others the space and physical body work for healing through massage therapy, as it was given to me.

I have served as a massage therapist for 5 years in the medical, holistic, and spa fields. I have been certified in Reiki, aromatherapy, cupping, hot stones, trigger point, myofascial release, massage for anxiety and depression, PTSD, prenatal, infant, and sports (pre and post event).

When I am not administering massage, I enjoy hanging out with my husband, 7 children, their spouses, and in August 2023- my first grand baby! I crochet everything (sweaters, blankets, stuffed animals, pet toys, etc) anytime I have down time. I also love making all things homemade! Laundry soap, cleaning supplies, natural medicines and pain relieving creams, as well as farm to table means of feeding my family and friends.
