I've always enjoyed and thrived on leading an active lifestyle - as a runner, yoga practitioner, mom of two active boys, hiking, biking, kayaking, etc. Now in my 40s, I truly believe I'm able to keep my body moving and doing all of these things pain-free through a combination of massage, self-care, and yoga. -- I'd like to help you do the same. My vision is to offer a unique massage THERAPY experience, where we'll go further by assessing your daily life and activities, factor in any past injuries, and incorporate your specific wellness goals to help you live your best active life.  My massage therapy philosophy is centered on finding the primary source to remove restrictions and release tight muscles in the body - not just spot treatment - allowing you to live pain free and move freely. I specialize in Therapeutic Massage, blending traditional Swedish massage with Sports Massage and Advanced Clinical Therapeutic techniques; integrating Trigger Point Release, Myofascial Release, muscle energy technique, and assisted stretching, among others.  I am Licensed in the State of Ohio, as well as Nationally Board Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. Before my LMT training, I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Journalism from Ohio University and a Master of Arts in Communication from the University of Central Florida. - Go Bobcats!
