My goal as a massage therapist is to enhance the health and well-being of those I serve by providing individualized massage. I love using massage to help clients recover from injury or just muscles tension related to being active. Massage is my meditation. It is healing for me and my clients!
I was born in Utah and grew up in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains. After graduating from Brigham Young University with a degree in Marriage Family and Human Development and minor in Humanities we moved to North Carolina. My husband and I called Greensboro home for 10 years before moving to Clayton, NC with our four children.
After many years of physical and occupational therapy with my children, I became aware of the amazing benefits of massage in restoring mobility and enhancing health. This revelation encouraged me to pursue a career in massage therapy at Johnston Community College in Smithfield, NC. I was trained in Swedish massage, trigger-point therapy, myofascial release, hydrotherapy, and client health/pathology. I enjoy the endless opportunities for growth and learning that massage provides and love that my education will continue to grow throughout my career.
In my free time I enjoy gardening, woodworking, sewing, going to the beach, and making my husband and children laugh.

Massage Therapy
Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB) represents the highest attainable credential within the massage therapy and bodywork profession. Board Certification is an advanced credential separate from entry-level massage therapy state licensure. As Board Certification is voluntary, its achievement represents the highest level of commitment to clients and to the advancement of the massage therapy and bodywork profession. Board Certificants must meet higher standards of education, possess a higher level of critical thinking skills, and pass a rigorous exam. The exam requires candidates to apply assessment skills, orthopedic knowledge, applied science skills (such as pathology, pharmacology, and more), and more to real-life scenarios in an effort to develop treatment plans that achieve positive results. In addition, all Board Certificants must undergo a routine criminal background check upon initial application and renewal (every two years) as a means of ensuring employers and the public that they are working with a trusted and reputable professional. https://www.ncbtmb.org/faq/what-is-board-certification/
