Wow — 10 years already!
When I was in school, we were told that the average career span of a massage therapist is only 5–10 years. I remember thinking how devastating that would be — what would I do after?
Well, here I am a decade later, and I feel better than ever. Over these 10 years I’ve invested in my education, cared for my own well-being, and expanded the ways I can support others far beyond deep tissue massage.
Of course there are challenging days, and yes, I do take time off when needed. But choosing this path has been one of the best decisions of my life. My mission is to help as many people as possible feel comfortable in their bodies.
I’m especially grateful to my amazing clients who remembered my anniversary today — your care and support mean the world to me. You are the reason I get to do what I love, and your trust motivates me to keep growing.
Over the years, my practice has evolved from traditional massage into a space where multiple modalities come together to help release, restore, and rebalance. And it will keep changing as I continue learning new techniques and approaches that go far beyond massage alone.
I’m proud of the therapist I’ve become and excited to keep learning, growing, and discovering that “missing piece” that will help each of you on your journey. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💛

Almost all of healthcare is based on chasing symptoms — but symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg. They’re just the effects, not the real problem. The tru...

Okay! After a beautiful week away I am back to work with so many beautiful new techniques to share!

Are you ready to learn some more about MFR?! Drop your 🙌 below or share your experience so far!

Okay, today I am putting in the work into my own healing journey. We are learning what vulnerability and discomfort feels like. Wow it is so powerful stuff! I want to be the best therapist for you all and I think in order to do so, I too have to put in the work and understand it first hand so that I can practice what I preach. This isn’t just for the Whowho people, this is for EVERYONE!
