My mission is to help you cultivate peace/ease in your body, heal from traumas, and develop the energetic practices that support your core philosophies.

My Journey into Massage Therapy
My story begins in a challenging environment, growing up as one of six children in a family struggling with the effects of alcoholism and emotional turmoil. From a young age, I had a profound awareness and connection to the pain of those around me, a sensitivity that followed me into adulthood and fueled my determination to find ways to help others.
In high school, I enrolled in a "health track" program, setting my sights on a career in nursing. My early experience as a CNA allowed me to comfort those in their final moments, a role that deeply impacted my perspective on care and empathy. Life took a significant turn when I married young and became a mother to three wonderful children. Through the challenges of life, including my youngest son's health issues, I continued to pursue my passion for healthcare knowledge, devouring medical and herbal texts to better care for my family.
Discovering My True Calling
In 1998, newly separated and back in school, I initially pursued nursing. However, my path shifted unexpectedly, and I found myself enrolled in two massage therapy programs. From the very first hands-on class, I knew I had found my true place in the world. Massage therapy finally provided an outlet for that empathic nature to participate in direct patient care and lighten suffering through safe touch and compassion. I became a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2001 and have been dedicated to this healing art ever since.
My Philosophy
I believe that pills unaccompanied by behavioral changes cannot and do not magically make us well, wellness requires participation from us, or it doesn’t happen. I likewise believe our bodies have an inherent power to heal themselves.
Massage can't cure all ailments, but it can significantly enhance well-being. It helps you manage stress, supports athletic performance, alleviates pain, and brings ease to those fighting illness such as cancer among others. I firmly believe massage empowers you along your path, integrating your mind and body, and fostering a sense of presence in your own body & life. I would love for massage to be an important part of every person's self-care regimen.
Skills and Specialties
I have a meticulous organized approach and utilize detail-oriented methods. I bring an intuitive, creative, and compassionate approach to my healing practice, combined with a wealth of information and the ability to take unrelated individual tidbits of information, to create an informed insightful treatment plan.
My specialties include deep tissue, trigger point therapy, post-surgical/injury recovery. I want to help all the warriors who have survived abuse of any kind, unskillful parents, bullying, and/or of domestic abuse to healthfully process their experiences and to begin to feel safe in their bodies ad the world again.
My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding and empathy, enabling me to provide focused effective emotional support and massage therapy. I invite you to experience the benefits of massage, healthy touch, EFT, aromatherapy, sound and crystal therapy and more. Whether you are in pain, on a healing journey of any kind, or simply seeking more ease in your body, I am here to help. Refer your friends and family to me, and together, we can extend this healing philosophy to others.
Overcoming Personal Challenges
My journey has not been without its struggles. Growing up in a dysfunctional environment left me with emotional scars and self-sabotaging behaviors. Beginning in 2010 with the death of my father, through the 20-teens, culminating with the loss of my mom and youngest brother. I fell into a deep depression. I refer to this time in my life as the "dark ages". I was able to work but felt a profound disconnected from my true self and the world at large. Determined to break free from this dark emotional/energetic chaos, I sought additional answers from the energetic realm. I acquired many new tools for my emotional “toolkit” and found significant healing through EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Reiki, and other energetic tools.
Reflecting on my life, I realize how pivotal these past years have been for me. My sensitivity to others' pain, which began in childhood, often felt like a burden. But now, it is the most powerful tool in my healing practice. Childhood traumas and the accompanying sense of powerlessness shaped my journey, but they also fueled my determination to help others.
If you, like me, have carried damage/baggage from childhood, don’t lose hope. I am a testimony that healing is possible. Whether it's anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or stress, there are ways to address these issues. Through EFT, Reiki, crystal healing, sound healing, herbally infused massage oils and more, we can work together to clear out the unhelpful remnants of past traumas and create a healthier, more balanced future.
My magnum opus has been motherhood. I am so proud of my children, who have grown into my favorite people on the planet and some of the loveliest people I know. And as much as I love my children and their spouses, my grandchildren take that incalculable joy and light to a whole other stratosphere.
Homeschooling my children for a combined ten years due to special circumstances and learning challenges is the second of my most rewarding endeavors. Along with watching my kids pursue excellence after going back into the school system. My daughter as a paramedic/volunteer firefighter, Licensed massage therapist and an amazing resource to her non-neurotypical kids. Both my sons graduating from college, including one from OSU's honors college, fill me with sheer delight.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my kids/family, gardening, music, photography, drawing, scrapbooking, illustrated journaling, and reading. I am also eager to explore kayaking and hiking in the future.
I would consider it an honor to be a part of your wellness journey. I want to help you manage stress, alleviates pain, and brings ease to those fighting serious illness. I firmly believe massage empowers you along your path, integrating your mind and body, and fostering a sense of ease and integration in your life.
Take a deep breath and join me on this journey of healing and self-discovery. Together, we can unlock the potential for profound transformation and well-being.
