Massage Therapy, as a career, called to me when I was working as a certified nurses assistant. Some of the residents I was responsible for caring for would request foot massages due to pain issues. With the approval of the charge nurse I was allowed to provide gentle massage to residents in my care for my shift. Many times I heard, “This is better than a pain pill.” 

This sort of feedback motivated me to take formal massage therapy training. I formerly thought that massage was just something used to pamper, and realized that massage can help support the body's natural healing process and provide comfort to people from all backgrounds, ages and lifestyles. 

My foundational massage training is in Swedish massage. After 13 years of practicing as a Licensed Massage Therapist, I have incorporated deep tissue, myofascial release, oncology massage, and manual lymphatic drainage to my massage therapy tool belt. My goal is to meet clients where they are at, make them feel seen and heard, and use the right skills to meet the needs of my clients.
