2020 changed my life in ways I never would have anticipated. Not only did we collectively deal with stress and unknowns from the global pandemic, I was personally experiencing chronic pain and disconnect from my body due to the traumatic birth of my son a year prior. The sheer exhaustion of caring for a newborn paired with recovering from an emergency c-section left me feeling broken, like this was just the way my life would be. Summer of 2020 my husband and I received a couples massage. It was an hour massage - but that one hour brought me immense pain relief and I walked out of it thinking, "Wow. What would my day to day be like if I could feel this good ALL the time?"  A few months later, I enrolled in the Massage Therapy program at PCI in South Kansas City. I graduated in June 2021 with certification in Hot Stone, and recently received certification in Myofascial Cupping.  It is my desire to work with folks from all walks of life. Pain does not discriminate. In today's world it's so easy to disconnect from our bodies, to try and distance or distract ourselves from pain. It's my goal to utilize massage as way to bring you back to your body. Together we can work on addressing those tension areas, creating space for body-mind relaxation, and discuss self care routines to implement at home.  Outside of being an LMT, I am almost always singing and playing piano. I make it a point to move my body throughout the week with yoga, various exercise, and dance. My son is the joy and light of our lives, and my husband is the stable ground beneath my feet. I am full of gratitude for my family and the love we share.
