Bee graduated from Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy in the fall of 2009. She is certified in Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release Therapy and Neuromuscular Therapy. She has also obtained training and certification from AAIMT in giving spa facials and body wraps. Other areas of experience include: Prenatal massage, Hot and Cold Stone therapy, and Geriatric Massage Therapy. Bee also has a driven passion to help survivors of sexual assault who are working to reclaim their ability to allow touch through massage therapy. This is a very sensitive area of focused work for the client and the utmost sensitivity and professionalism will be used during these sessions. As a Massage Therapist I am driven by the ability to help people understand that they can help themselves feel better. I was originally inspired to go to massage school to learn how our bodies work… I see our bodies as these overall resilient vessels that we can view the world through and yet, I had not the slightest idea how we operated. Oddly enough, I actually hadn’t ever even had a professional massage before I went to school for it. I just knew I wanted to learn how we worked on the inside! So I studied and learned to think about the body in a completely different way; like a machine made of organic matter. This was something I never gave much thought to before massage school. I realized with my knowledge in anatomy and physiology, I could help other people understand how their bodies worked, and how they could help themselves feel better and live more comfortably within their own vessel. Bee is a self-proclaimed avid crafter and equality enthusiast! When she's not with clients she enjoys gardening, camping, biking and exploring this beautiful world we live in!
