What motivated you to become a massage therapist? Initially I wanted to be a nurse however a friend encouraged me to take a lay person’s massage class. During that class I realized what I wanted to do; help people with massage therapy!

What makes your massage unique? I use a combination of gentleness and depth during sessions to work the tissues and help clients achieve their goals. My approach is gradual work to release the tissues layer by layer while utilizing heat, stretching, and deeper pressure as needed.

What do you appreciate when receiving a massage? Good communication regarding my session with a quiet therapist who creates a comfortable environment. I want to leave feeling better than when we began the session.

Success story with a particular client: I have worked with a client in their 90s who came in initially for bi-monthly sessions in order to help decrease pain. She now has weekly sessions and tells me that I am what keeps her pain free, mobile, and “ALIVE!”

What keeps you passionate about massage therapy? I enjoy making one on one connections with clients while helping them slow down, heal, and find a peaceful space in a busy world.

What do you enjoy in your free time, outside of massage therapy? Gardening, nature walks, listening to music, and going on adventures with my grandkids
