Before coming home to Iowa, I lived in Boston where I discovered my passion for holistic living through yoga, meditation, and bodywork. I took my 200-hour training to be a yoga teacher with David Vendetti at South Boston Yoga. I further enhanced my studies with Josh Summers and completed 24 hours of Yin Yoga teacher training. Practicing and teaching yoga led me to a deeper curiosity about how my body works, and what I could do help others understand how theirs work in order to find freedom from pain and malfunction. Initially I completed 750 hours of massage education at Cortiva Institute in Boston under the wise and talented hands of Tom Karis, Andrew Jurdan, Todd Rivers, and Susan Coffey to name a few. While there, my education had a strong emphasis in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, and a strong introduction to Orthopedic techniques. I chose to enhance my own education by getting 24 hours of introductory education in Shiatsu and my first level Reiki attunement. Since returning home I have begun Manual therapy training with James Waslaski and received my 24 hour certification in Cupping Therapy as well as taken many other continuing education classes in sports massage, COVID safety, essential oils and various techniques.
