Hi! I graduated from Cortiva Institute in July 2019.   I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist. I became interested in massage and lymph drainage when my daughter became medically sick. Both were recommended ways to help her. After sitting in on a few sessions, I wanted to learn more and help her so I changed careers and went to school. A little over a year after graduation, I took the  class to become certified in manual lymphatic drainage. I am passionate about helping people in my community reduce swelling, inflammation and pain in their bodies. And also, reduce their levels of high stress and anxiety. You can usually find me learning something new. Recently, I finished a class for medical terminology as well as cupping therapy. This year, I'll be adding to my lymphatic area of focus. I have advanced training in Oncology Massage and Lymphatic Drainage. I grew up in Newport, Rhode Island, but currently reside in SECT with my two kids and my senior pup.  In my spare time, I enjoy baking, hiking, taking mini road trips, photography.
