The human body is fascinating and I believe that each person needs unique healing. I've been trained in a variety of massage modalities with varying degrees of touch; from Advanced CranioSacral training with Upledger (CS1,CS2,SomatoEmotional Release) to DeepFeet™ Ashiatsu. My background in pain management and spinal orthopedics has beautifully transitioned into therapeutic massage utilizing craniosacral, neuromuscular, myofascial release, trigger point and active/passive release techniques. However, I believe that no matter how trained the hands are, none of it matters unless both the practitioner and client set the intention of Healing.
Since I was a child I've loved to make people feel better. I witnessed close family endure debilitating chronic pain and true suffering. This led me to a career in Pain Management and later, Orthopedics. After being in the medical field for over 10 years I realized how medicine had evolved away from compassionate healing. I was however able to witness the true healing power of the human body. It changed my fundamental philosophy and I was no longer comfortable working in the medical field. I wanted to help in a different way, I wanted to make people feel better when they left.
I left my cozy home in West Texas to attend massage school at the Aveda Institute in Clearwater, FL. After completing school and soaking up enough sun for a lifetime, the mountains were calling. I moved to Manitou Springs, CO in 2019.
In my spare time I love on my 5 year old West Highland Terrier, Rocky. Im a forever student, and love to study ancient healing. I am fascinated with the mind, body, and soul connection and try to maintain balance in my life. I highly prioritize self-care and am constantly maintaining my body in whatever way I can. I love yoga, hiking, and reading a good book with the trees.
