Trying to recovering from a serious back injury & immeasurable pain, changes everything about you.  In my early 20's, I struggled with this for 5 years.  What do you do when a Massage Therapist and "alternative health providers" give you your life back?  Well what I did was toss away my first degree (bachelor's in Occupational Therapy) and jumped aboard the "wellness wagon" too, :0).  So here I am, practicing as a Licensed Massage Therapist, striving to empower hundreds of others to live life without pain and to restore  balance in their minds and bodies.  My life is so much better because I receive massage therapy routinely, I know others lives will be better when they receive it, too.  What a gift. As a therapist, I understand the need to not just use our hands, but also to use our hearts and ears as constant assessment tools.   The more I understand about you, the more intention I can give to each & every massage stroke I make.   I firmly believe that when people feel better, when the stress, muscle tension, or pain is truly gone, they do so much better for those around them and that's what I bring to the table.  This is my ultimate goal for my community, to have the unique benefits each client experiences, spill over into their work, home, and community relationships. It's never all about one person. How we feel affects everyone in our lives.
