𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝—but if you’ve been part of my journey, you’ll want to read this. ♥️✨
I’ve spent over a decade studying + refining my craft—neuromuscular therapy, Thai massage, cupping, gua sha, physiokinetix, Myoskeletal alignment, reflexology, Swedish massage. I’ve worked with professional athletes and the everyday aches & pains. I’ve helped kids reach the collegiate level and college athletes push toward the pros. But through all of it, the one technique that has always stood out to me is CranioSacral therapy.
I still remember being in school, battling brutal migraines, when one of my instructors, Mel, introduced me to it. She would gently place her hands at the base of my skull for an occipital release, then cradle my head, completely still. Neither of us moved, but I could feel waves crashing back & forth inside my head until they finally came to a stop. When she lifted her hands, my head felt like a thousand pounds + light as a feather at the same time. The migraine? Gone. Just like that.
The first time she did this, I laughed hysterically. I mean, I could not stop. Some people cry, others feel stillness—but for me, laughter took over until those waves finally settled. And then? Peace. Calm.
Later in school, we were doing a Thai Massage training when I developed a sharp, searing pain in my left shoulder. It hurt to move, let alone work.
𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘶𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘭. ✨
She had me lie on my stomach, placed her hands just above the area, and said, “You have a rib out. Don’t move—I’ll guide it back.”
She never touched me.
Just hovered her hands above my body.
And then POP.
Pain? Gone.
I was fascinated. How did she do that?! She didn’t even touch me!!
After graduation, I was lucky enough to work with a couple players from the StL Rams. I was determined to make the NFL my career. The rush of it all was electric. But life had other plans—it brought me kids, and that lifestyle simply just isn’t practical for us right now.
Still, I never stopped studying the techniques that elite athletes receive. I’ve built relationships with some of the absolute best in the industry, learning everything I can. Because why should only pro athletes receive that level of care? In my opinion, everyone deserves it.
And then…I met Coen.
Coco Brown. ♥️
There’s so much I could say about him and our short time together, but some things are just meant to be kept close to the heart. What I will say is this—that kid changed my career forever.
Working with Coen was different. It weighed on my heart for a long time to reach out and offer my help. Something I never do. But the more I ignored it, the louder the call got. I didn’t understand why, but eventually, I gave in. I couldn’t bear to read about how much pain he was in knowing I could help even in the slightest bit. We didn’t know if massage would help but it wasn’t long before he started texting, asking me to come almost everyday.
I will never be able to put into words what that time with Coen meant to me.
During one of our sessions, I was holding his head in my hands, doing CranioSacral therapy, when suddenly—tears started flowing down my face. I recognized that the situation was sad but yet, I wasn’t crying? Tears were just flowing.
And then it happened again. And again. And again.
Every single client. Even the animals I’ve worked on. I am not just feeling the releases anymore—I am experiencing the whole body letting go. It is such a powerful sensation.
I called my mentors, asking, “Why is this happening to me?!” Some were just as confused. A few told me it just meant I was an incredible massage therapist. But no one had a clear answer.
Then, one day, I was on a Body Code call with my friend Krista. She asked if I had any questions for my body.
Half-jokingly, I said, “What do I want to be when I grow up? I love athletics, but I feel like I’m being pulled in a different direction.”
The answer? 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.
I had never heard of it before. But the second I started researching, it all made sense.
The yawning I have been experiencing before the tears? That’s called 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴—a way of raising & regulating energy before a release. My body is naturally aligning with + raising the energetic vibration of my clients, helping them let go of what no longer serves them. And those tears? They are the release.
This work has transformed my practice.
I’ve had to do quite a bit of my own healing—deep, hard, painful work. I’ve had to face myself, my past, and all the ugly in between. And because of that, I can now help you set down your armor, too.
So if you have a session with me and see me tearing up, don’t be alarmed. It’s weird & strange, yes. But I myself am strange & unusual. 😉 And I wouldn’t change a thing.
This work is powerful. And I can’t wait to share it with you.
