I wanted to start in massage because I loved the idea of being able to pamper someone.  Making oneself a priority is so important. Not only for your physical health but for your mental health. I attended Therapeutic Solutions School of Massage in Indianola Iowa. I graduated in January 2007 and passed my boards April 2007.  I practiced out of a spa and out of my home until 2011 when my husband joined the military.  We moved out of state, and I let my license go because I didn't know if we were coming back to Iowa. We are back and I missed helping people and realized that massage and spa work is just my passion.  I retook my boards, did all my continuing education and I am now license in Iowa again. YAY!!!!  I am excited to take more continued education courses to be able to add more to my business. My favorite technique is probably doing body scrubs. They are so relaxing. I do a Swedish massage tailored towards each individual client. Nobody's massage is ever the exact same. I am married to a wonderful man, no kids, but we do have 4 dogs and a cat.  I love being with my friends. My biggest hobby is floating in the water (Ocean, pool, lake, doesn't matter), just love to get some sun. It is so relaxing to just relax your body and watch nature, watch the clouds, and let your mind float away.
