My philosophy is simple: I believe that the human body can heal itself. I try and facilitate that natural healing process by listening to and understanding each client's particular needs by working collaboratively to develop an individualized treatment plan that enhances your experience. Whether it is through pure relaxation techniques, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, breathing or exercises at home, we will be working together to help you optimize your health and well-being.
About Me: I was born and raised in northern California. After graduating high school, I attended University of Kansas for 2 years and then transferred to a smaller college in Topeka, KS. I graduated with a degree in Travel and Tourism which led me to a career as a Corporate and Leisure Travel Agent for 9 years. During this time, I lived in Pennsylvania, Florida, and most recently, Georgia, where I have lived in the metro Atlanta area since 2000.
I have learned a lot about myself over the years and yearned for a more simple, non-corporate, lifestyle. I discovered yoga in 2001 and was an apprentice at a studio for 2 years when I developed a desire for massage therapy. I attended Rising Spirit Institute of Natural Health, Atlanta, GA vand graduated with honors in 2004. I began my career as a massage therapist in a chiropractic office and later opened a private practice, and this is where I am today. I am passionate about massage therapy and helping people to feel better.
I am a single mother to a wonderful teenager who I am proud to call mine. Beyond massage, I love the outdoors, playing tennis, working in my yard, sitting by the fire, hiking, and spending time with my family.. I am a lover of all animals and have a dog and cat and am an avid volunteer in animal rescue.
