After Graduating from the Culinary Institutue of America in '91 I spent the next 20+ years in the food and wine industry. I loved it but I really wanted to follow my other passion of natural medicine for both people and animals. After completing Massage therapy school in '08 I worked in a high end casino spa and then branched out on my own. Through my own practice I realized that I wanted to be able to offer more to my clients than just a relaxing massage. I began training in Thai Yoga Bodywork and Naturopathic medicine with Dr. Anthony James of the Somaveda® College of Natural Medicine. My goal was to help non-athletes and athletes alike improve their overall health, recover quicker from injuries or become better stronger athletes through various types of body work, corrective exercise assessments and training as well as yoga and improved diet.  With thousands of hours of hands on experience (I have worked in some very busy environments) and over 4000hrs of training in various modalities after massage school I am teased regularly that I'm an over achevier but I truelly belive that improved health comes from a combination of different aspects and I need to understand those aspects fully to offer a well rounded program to my clients.

    My other passion has always been animals. I feel they deserve the best we can offer them so I became a student of Janis Blanchard to study Reiki and Jim Mastersons'   The Masterson Method as a manual therapy to treat horses. These methods alone and in conjuction with other modalities can create a heathier, stronger happier horse. Growing up so many of my friends lives were devoted to their horses and competition. Their passion was passed on to me and now I can help to serve these magnificent animals in so many more ways.
