About

My journey into healing touch didn’t begin in a classroom or with a certification. It began with my mother.

She was a massage therapist—the first person who ever offered me safe, nurturing, and loving touch. I didn’t know it then, but that simple act planted a seed in me. One that would grow into my life’s calling.

I also lost her—suddenly, traumatically, and far too soon. In the aftermath of that grief, everything shifted. I knew I wanted to live differently. I wanted to care for my body, my mind, my choices. I didn’t want to carry pain that wasn’t mine, or live under the weight of stress, disconnection, or neglect. That loss lit a fire in me, one that still guides my path today.

Massage is more than a profession for me—it’s a way to give back what was once so generously given to me. Safe touch. Presence. Permission to rest. A space to be fully cared for—body, mind, and soul.

I understand anxiety, burnout, and trauma—not as concepts, but as lived experiences. I know how much courage it takes to ask for help, to lie down on a table, to let your guard down and truly receive.

This is why I do what I do. Because healing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, generational, and deeply personal. And if I can be even a small part of someone’s return to themselves, then I feel I'm right where I’m meant to be.
