Founder of The Massage Beast | Advanced Medical Rehabilitation | Functional & Homeopathic Medicine |Vibroacutic Biofeedback Frequency Therapy

Healing has always been my calling. Since I was a little girl, I have been deeply called by God to do this work and become a natural doctor. My purpose is to understand the human body, help people heal, and serve others through the gifts God has given me. I believe God gifted me with hands that can feel what the body communicates and recognize where pain, restriction, and dysfunction are held. Because I care deeply about doing this work right, I poured everything into my education, graduating with Salutatorian honors and a near-perfect GPA.

For more than 13 years, I have worked on the front lines of medical rehabilitation, delivering clinical and private patient care alongside chiropractors and orthopedic providers. This foundation led me to spend more than two years as a master instructor, teaching advanced anatomy, lymphatics, palpation, and sound and frequency therapy to other professionals. Driven by my passion to serve, The Massage Beast has proudly earned recognition as a Top 2 People's Choice practice in Acadiana in 2026, along with recognition for business growth.

Today, my clinical approach bridges advanced data science with deep somatic and energetic healing. I consider your entire health picture, connecting your history, functional labs, hormones, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, and nervous system stress to identify where your recovery may be blocked. Together, we build an individualized recovery plan tailored to your goals, integrating Functional Medicine, precision Homeopathic Medicine, targeted cellular peptides, and strategic lifestyle and nutrition recommendations.

A central focus of my practice is Integrative Trauma and Oncology Care, supporting people throughout the cancer journey, from prevention-focused lifestyle and nutrition support to care during active treatment, post-surgical recovery, and survivorship. I work with individuals who want to take a proactive approach to their health, those navigating a cancer diagnosis, and survivors seeking to restore function and quality of life. Cancer care extends beyond a diagnosis or treatment plan. Lymphatic health, nutrition, mastectomy recovery, scar tissue, mobility, pain, fatigue, stress, and long-term well-being all deserve attention.

My hands-on clinical work focuses on deep physical repair, structural healing, and neurological recovery. I address the complex challenges of chronic disease, chronic pain, cancer recovery, mastectomy care, scar tissue, lymphatic dysfunction, PTSD, personal injury, and post-operative healing. Combining the transformative art of hands-on healing with specialized therapeutic modalities, I work to improve tissue mobility, support lymphatic function, restore fascia and movement, and address physical restrictions. Drawing on my background in sound and frequency education, I compose my own custom therapeutic music for use on our Pulsewave™ Therapy table, integrating bespoke sound frequency protocols with central nervous system (CNS) regulation healing touch, biofeedback and targeted breath coaching.

My philosophy honors the profound connection between body, mind, and spirit. My faith is central to my calling. I believe you deserve to be heard, treated like family, and supported as a whole human being rather than defined by a diagnosis.

My goal is to listen and support your story, review relevant health information, understand your concerns, and help you build a personalized path toward better health and well-being.

To serve people wherever they are, I am expanding my services to include telehealth consultations alongside in-clinic consults. I collaborate with an amazing trusted network of medical professionals when specialized or coordinated care is needed. I also offer specialized wellness products through The Hemp Collection, alongside premium, high-potency magnesium bath soaks formulated to complement your recovery and self-care routine.

At The Massage Beast, your story matters. My mission is to walk alongside you through prevention, active clinical care, cancer treatment support, rehabilitation, recovery, and survivorship. I bring together clinical experience, hands-on expertise, integrative approaches, and faith-centered compassion to help you understand your health, navigate your options, and pursue a personalized path forward.
