I have been practicing massage for 4 years. I enjoy helping others deal with pain, discomfort, or just wanting to relax. My preferred modality is deep tissue specifically dealing with headaches, back and shoulder pain, and limited mobility. Before I decided to become a massage therapist I was going to school majoring in biosciences and chemistry. I have always enjoyed biology, chemistry, anatomy, and health in general. During this time in school, I was involved in a couple car accidents (one minor and one major), and turned to massage therapy and chiropractic care to help with headaches and overall pain I was feeling. This totally changed my life and after my positive experience I decided to enroll in massage therapy school to help others like myself. You will find me caring, respectful, friendly, and professional. I am here to help my clients feel better and not have pain be in the way.
