EDUCATION

SUMMARY
From an early age, I knew I wanted to provide people with care and as I grew up I found that massage gave me a great way to do just that! What’s so great about massage is that it can holistically address the whole person. It isn’t a fix for just physical or mental/emotional needs, but a support for both.

SUCCESS STORIES
Being able to put people to sleep or into a restful state has been my specialty. With one particular client, I was able to get her to fall asleep early into the session while working on her rotator cuff muscles. When the session ended she told me that her pain had gone from about a 5 to a 1. After that, she returned biweekly so that she could have her moment of rest and care, knowing that she would leave with less pain and more mobility.
WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGES UNIQUE?
I find that working with a client's nervous system yields the best results and for that reason, I prioritize rest and relaxation while working with someone. Oftentimes we carry our stress and day-to-day struggles with us in our body. This can show up as tight shoulders, headaches, clenched/painful jaw, and restlessness. By helping clients to leave their stress at the door and have a moment dedicated to relaxation and care, we can work to alleviate the symptoms of those stressors. This allows the client to leave feeling more balanced both physically and emotionally.
WHAT DO YOU APPRECIATE MOST WHEN RECEIVING MASSAGE?
Knowing that for the next hour, someone else is taking care of me and I can just turn my brain off and relax.
WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE?
I love that the learning never ends and that there is always something new to try. I love being able to sit down and talk with people, get some insight into their life, and then provide them with care personalized for their lifestyle and goals. I truly love the massage community and how there is always someone there to answer any of my questions and give me guidance.
