I am changing my massage therapy hours. I will now be nursing full time. Massage therapy will be in the evening hours M-W, fridays while my son is at school, or on the weekends by appointment. You can message me on fb or IG to schedule. My business Pocket Nurse has officially been open for one year. My clients are dear to my heart. I will continue serving in this role and hope to see more growth in the years to come. Thank you so much to everyone who has been a part of this journey!

Offering adult and pediatric massage therapy. Background as an RN interested in holistic care. Specialized as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. Especially passionate about reintroducing touch as a safe and nurturing experience for assault survivors and empowering them to reclaim their voice and autonomy. However, we all endure trauma in this lifetime. And our suffering can often feel all-consuming. We carry our physical and psychological pain in our tissue. Massage Therapy can help us alleviate our pain, ease our stress, and work through our trauma.

Come visit Pocket Nurse Massage Therapy at my new office location: S Lincoln Ave Suite C, O'Fallon, IL 62269 (right by the dentist). I am consistently practicing Mondays and Fridays, but can often squeeze a client in around my nursing hours on weekends and evenings, so voice your preference! I offer in office or portable massage therapy in which I come to your home.

🌿I have taken classes to ensure that I am trauma informed. My background as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner has inspired me to use touch therapy to help survivors reacclimate to their bodies and experience touch as healing and consensual.

🌿I also have a HUGE heart for pediatric clients. I am working on my Pediatric and Infant Massage Therapy Certification through Liddle Kidz Foundation. My massage therapy has helped one child with her range of motion. It has improved her contractures. And the mother of another peds client shared that my massage therapy has calmed her son's anxiety and helped him sleep better at night.

🌿I am known for my gentle, soothing touch. I match well with elderly, children, and those seeking a relaxing experience. I mix myofascial release into my massage, which is firm, sustained pressure. But I would not say that I give a deep tissue massage. I would classify myself as a Swedish Massage experience. And I taylor each massage to each individual client.

Message me for more details! Happy to answer any questions. I would love to work with you!

I am taking a 4 week class with a Chicago practitioner to ensure that my Massage Therapy is trauma informed. My leader has experience with sexual assault survivors. It is my hope that their training can help me knit together my Massage Therapy and Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner careers. I know this is the beginning of a long journey. And I realize I will always be learning and adjusting as psychology advances and we grow in our understanding of trauma's affect on the body. Sometimes I will get it wrong. And I will need to correct myself and adjust my care... That's just part of the journey. I am also re-reading The book The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D. I am reminded daily that our bodies, minds, and souls are all woven together. We store what has happened to us in our fascia. The body remembers...

Please feel free to drop any resources below that have helped you in your own healing journey or in your work with trauma survivors. I especially appreciate material focused on sexual assault and sexual abuse as I want that to be an area of healing I eventually feel confident and equipped to help clients through. 💗

I am a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Massage Therapist, and soon to be Registered Yoga Teacher. It is my hope through using a variety of trauma informed bodywork modalities that I can empower my clients to reclaim their voices, foster safety in their bodies, and nurture self care. We all endure trauma in our lifetime. Our sufferings are all-consuming, specific to us, and cannot be compared. Let us use the power of touch, breath, movement, and stillness to help us reclaim, renew, and restore what has been wounded or lost. 💜
