I became a licensed therapist in 2016. Coming from a background as an EMT I was immeditly not satisfied with doing simple relaxation massage. I started taking continuing education classes shortly after education in subjects like reflexology, prenatal, and deep tissue. I now hold certification in prenatal and post-partum massage, osteopathic and orthopedic massage, basic and advanced manual lymphatic drainage, lyposassage, advanced craniosacral therapy, oncology massage, advanced sports massage, active isolated stretching, myofascial release, trigger point and neuromuscular techniques, muscle activation and scar tissue mobilization, post-surgical massage, and medical massage. I also have a certification as an advanced medical massage practitioner. I am still continuing to take classes, and I am hoping to finish a course in Myoskelatal massage in the coming year. 

My mission statement as a massage therapist is to break patterns of pain, restore health, and help her patient's live life to fullest. I will go the extra mile to help you achieve all your goals with massage therapy. This is not my career, this is my calling.

I have been blessed to marry my high school sweetheart Jack, and we have a beautiful fur baby named Shadow the cat. We are excited and hopeful to have children in the near future.  I am highly active with my church and in my small town. I love spending time outside in nature, walking, hiking cooking, and Barre classes.
