As I worked through my own physical issues throughout the last 15 years, bodywork and alternative therapies became a passion of mine. I was looking, trying, and testing all of the offerings out there outside of traditional medicine. I eventually was fortunate enough to experience the touch of an expert Rolf bodywork practitioner and my excitement to receive his technique became a thirst to receive his teaching. I'm so blessed that I was gifted with this rare opportunity to learn the power of touch, and it set me on a path as a professional that led me to establish a 5-Star bodywork studio, The Appalachia Guild of Healing Arts from 2016-2020. Because of Covid, I've taken a long break from the field. Now I'm back and looking forward to returning to the work. I look to educate and inspire, as well as release. I find that once you have the 'aha' moment of what mechanical, chemical, and neurological factors create the feeling of release in your body, you'll be excited to see just how far you can go.
