I think if you asked my family, they would tell you I was destined for this career.  I enjoyed giving people massages starting at a very young age.  On vacations to the lake, I would use mud to cover my grandma's legs as a spa treatment.  I have always loved the power of physical touch and being there for people in their time of need. My journey stated back in 2005 when I went to massage school.  At the time, I was looking for something to do while my first-born son was in school.  Massage was meant to be a steppingstone on my way to become a physical therapist.  I feel in love with it and haven't looked back.   I like to say that we are all connected, Mind-Body-Spirit, so we need to approach massage with an open mind and heart. Both client and practitioner.   I go into a session taking your physical complaints plus what I see and feel into account.  I use a combination of techniques to achieve your desired goals.  I strive for each session to be customized to your goals, but also work what I feel needs to be done.  Overall, I am a therapist who likes to "get in there" and work out muscular tension and trigger points but also am a believer in the power of relaxing the mind.
