I enjoy healing, & helping others discover their own sense of healing. When western medicine failed me, I began to resonate with the world of alternative medicines. I was able to continue my own path to physical, mental, & even spiritual healing, through these teachings. I haven't looked back since.
You are more than just a client to me, & I will always respect you as a human being. Our sessions, your privacy, & confidentiality will also be respected at all times.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Scheduling is completed online through a self-checkout system.
You may message with any questions prior to scheduling a session.
Upon arrival, we will go to my treatment room, a place that is instantly warming & welcoming upon entering.
We will briefly discuss needs, what to expect throughout the session, & I will then leave the room for you to get comfortable.
We communicate throughout the massage or other service to ensure goals and sense of calm are being met.

I started my skincare & massage training in 2008, while I received my occupational associate of science degree in 2010. I have been working on a limited basis since to ensure I provide optimal services each & every time, & with every session.

How did you get started in this business?
I have always enjoyed taking care of my skin & decided early on that I would make it one of my career choices in my multi-skill toolbox. I continued with massage therapy following my graduation, & have been helping people heal, & to look & feel their best ever since.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I work with all members of the community, & travelers.
Everyone is welcome here. I offer a judgement-free place of healing to all people, straight or gay, all genders, all nationalities, the lgbtqia community, & everyone that either does, or does not identify or fall into one of those categories.
You are welcome here, in my place of healing.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I appreciate every connection I make with a client & am always fond of the opportunity to be able to connect & help each individual.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I recommend being honest with your therapist, & always keep the line of communication open.
Do you like a softer touch, or perhaps more firm pressure, we will generally ask, but there is no harm in a client communicating to the therapist, & I encourage it. I am able to help you look & feel your best, & provide the best possible service, when we are communicating.
You are in a safe space in my treatment room & everything you share is confidential.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Honestly. Any you can think of. There are no wrong questions, & I will always respond in a respectful, professional manner.
