About
With a background as a licensed practical nurse who specialized in obstretrics and gynecology and gerontology, compassion is at the forefront of my service. I have a Bachelor's in Alternative Medicine that allows me to assess and complement therapeutic massage. I am a medically certified licensed massage therapist with 25 years of experience. I am a Level 2 Reiki practitioner, have training with John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach, am a certified crystal healer, astrologer, and card reader.
It is amazing to fuse these modalities together in order to help facilitate healing with clients on a mind, body, and soul level.
I love my work. There is something to learn everytime and facilitating awareness, as well as relaxation and healing fuels my soul.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have an intake form that is filled out that includes some medical background, the reasons for the visit, and some spiritual questions as well. If there are any questions, I answer what I can and explain my routine. From there, I show my client around the office, bring them to his or her massage room, and then begin to work on my client within his or her comfort level.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a background as a licensed practical nurse in obstretrics and gynecology, and gerontology. I have 25 years of experience massaging. I am a medically certified licensed massage therapist with training in prenatal massage, hot stones, John. F. Barnes Myofascial Relase Approach and Board Certified through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. I am a Level 2 Reiki practitioner, a certified crystal healer, astrologer, and card reader. I also hold a Bachelor's in Alternative Medicine and am currently working on my Masters in Oriental Medicine.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I charge by the session. I do offer 1 hour, 90 minutes, and 2 hour sessions with massage. In regards to Myofascial Release, I charge by the hour. My other services range from a time period of 30 minutes up to an hour.
How did you get started in this business?
I needed something different than nursing at a time in life when life did not make sense. I began school for becoming a licensed massage therapist and fell passionately in love with it all over again, and became a little upset with Western Medicine not using the gift of touch.
Everything just seemed to fall into place and I began servicing clients at their homes as soon I was able to. From there my business grew by word of mouth, so much that I was on the road more than I was servicing my clients and the opportunity to open a place came up and I jumped on it. It has been such an amazing journey so far.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I work with a range of customers, many of my clients prefer deep tissue massage. I have several that have issues with different areas of their bodies. Some clients have severe medical issues to cients with some minor issues. I also work with several prenatal and pediatric clients.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I would advise having a conversation with your therapist and feeling out the vibes. We are not all meant to work on everybody. Your therapist should not be afraid to let you know if he or she can not work on you. Credentials are a great thing to check into and realize that your therapist is not going to heal you. As therapists, we are only facilitators of healing and there is an exchange of energy. It is never a one way street.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
This really depends on what a client is looking for from the therapist. Questions should be tailored to your specific needs, and how the therapist may be able to assist you.
