How I Became a Massage Therapist:

I wasn’t sure if massage therapy would be the right career for me until I started school. What drew me there in the first place was simple: I’ve always felt that touch is a natural way to care for and connect with people. Exploring massage therapy felt like a meaningful way to use that gift, and once I began, it quickly became clear that this work was exactly where I belonged.

In school, I discovered how intuitive and creative massage could be, and I realized how much I enjoyed helping people feel safe, supported, and restored. Even though I hadn’t received a massage myself until that time, I quickly came to understand the powerful impact it can have—especially in calming the nervous system, easing anxiety, and creating a sense of grounding in a world that often feels too busy.

For me, massage is about more than just working on muscles. It’s about creating a space of stillness, where people can let go, breathe easier, and reconnect with themselves. My goal is always to help clients leave feeling lighter, more at ease, and deeply cared for.

My Qualifications:

I hold a comprehensive 500-hour certification from Body & Soul Massage School, where I trained in a variety of techniques including Reiki, Hot Stone Massage, Prenatal Massage, Swedish Massage, Lymphatic Massage, and Deep Tissue Massage. In addition, I am certified in SARGA Bodywork®, a barefoot, fascia-focused modality that allows for deep, fluid, and therapeutic work. These qualifications give me the flexibility to tailor each session to your individual needs—whether you’re seeking relaxation, targeted relief, or a restorative full-body experience.

Beyond Massage:

Beyond my work as a massage therapist, I'm passionate about health and fitness. I believe in the gift of a healthy, well-functioning body that allows us to move gracefully through life. It's a privilege to share this belief with my clients.

One of the things that drives me is my passion for learning. I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of continuous growth and education. My commitment to expanding my knowledge of massage and exploring new techniques ensures that I can offer you the best possible care.

Human Connection:

What I value most about my work is the opportunity to build personal connections with each client. Trust is the foundation of our relationships, and I strive for clear, compassionate communication. My goal is to ensure that every client leaves my table feeling better equipped to navigate their everyday lives. I approach every session with empathy, understanding, and a deep appreciation for the healing potential of massage.
