My father was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, my stepmother with Plantar Fasciitis, and my mother with De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. All three of them suffered for almost a year before I started school for Massage Therapy. Once in college, I practiced what I was learning on them every week. Seeing their pain disappear seemed like magic to a young therapist. To this day, I carry the same level of passion for helping people live pain-free. My focus is to help you achieve your goals. For you, that goal might be eliminating pain during your golf swing, increasing hip mobility to help you PR your back squat, or reducing scar tissue. Whatever your health goals, I'm here to help.​ I attended Everest College and received my diploma in 2008. I passed the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork in September 2008. My education will always be ongoing. My primary training consisted of many different modalities, including deep tissue, trigger point, Swedish, prenatal, sports, and so much more. Within the last few years, I've added certifications in Rehabilitation Massage, Thai Massage, Yoga, Medical Massage, Nutrition, and Personal Training. I am currently working through additional advanced certifications in Orthopedic Clinical Massage and Corrective Exercise.   In 2019 I started volunteering as a Massage Therapist with Hospice through Aurora Healthcare. Before being cut off by COVID-19, I found the volunteer experience to be both rewarding and heart-wrenching.
