I obtained a Bachelors of Science from UT Knoxville in Wildlife Biology and a Masters of Science in Biology from WKU. I'm certified in Pilates and a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance. As I taught and worked with my body, I discovered the body-mind connection is a two way channel. What I mean by that is the body's overall condition can and does impact our ability to relieve stress and anxiety as well as assist our navigation of everyday life. I learned very quickly that tissues do hold emotions and can be released even with the gentlest of touch and movement. Those realizations led me to apply and successfully complete a clinical based Massage Therapy program at Mind Body Institute in Nashville, TN. I'm dual licensed in both TN and KY with specialization in Sports Massage, Myofascial, Chair Massage and general relaxation (Swedish). I've completed a level one MediCupping certification and have interests in Thai Massage, Breema, Cranio-Sacral and Oncology Massage. I'm very proud to be on the team at Suite Zen and look forward to my continued growth. With me, you'll find a compassionate, gentle, understanding LMT with strong hands who wants to provide you with tools for your path to wellbeing.
