About

I am a licensed massage therapist and a registered nurse who started my healthcare career journey back in Europe more than 10 years ago. With a desire to expand my career horizons and explore new opportunities, I made the bold decision to move to the United States. Recognizing the value of further education and qualifications, I dedicated myself to acquiring the necessary credentials in my new home. I immersed myself in the rigorous curriculum, honing my skills, and embracing the unique approaches and techniques prevalent in the American healthcare system. My commitment to excellence led me to successfully complete an associate degree nursing program at William Rainey Harper College in Illinois, then later earning a valuable bachelor's degree in nursing from Western Governors University. This achievement not only solidified my knowledge of medical practices but also deepened my understanding of holistic care and patient well-being.

Simultaneously, I pursued my passion for massage therapy, undertaking specialized training at Allied Health Career Institute, then transferred to the reputable massage school Washington Spa Academy from where I earned the essential credits for obtaining a Washington State massage license. By obtaining my massage license, I demonstrated my expertise in various massage modalities and my dedication to providing exceptional care to my clients. The fusion of my European roots and American education has endowed our me with a comprehensive skill set and a diverse range of techniques. I seamlessly integrate my knowledge of nursing practices and my expertise in massage therapy, offering a truly holistic and personalized approach to healing.

    Frequently asked questions

    I ask about goal of the session, health history, current taken medication, allergies, any recent injuries, or illnesses. I ask about any painful or tense spots, location, intensity, duration etc. I ask if the client received a massage before and inform what to expect, inform that the modesty is always respected, and only the area being worked will be unwrapped and they will be between the sheets and kept comfortable. I ask about the preferred pressure and if there are any areas that the client wants me to avoid like (feet, abdomen, face, or scalp).

    Over a decade ago, I embarked on an exciting adventure in Europe, diving headfirst into the massage therapy industry. It was an experience like no other, but life had different plans for me. When I moved to the United States, my focus shifted towards nursing school, which I had also started in Europe. However, deep down, I couldn't ignore the longing to heal people through the power of touch. The sadness of not being able to practice massage therapy in the States gnawed at me. That's when I made a life-changing decision. I resolved to put myself through school once again, obtaining the necessary credentials to practice my beloved craft in this new land. And so, my journey continued. But why stop there? As a mother of two precious little girls, I craved flexibility in my work schedule. Kids have a knack for falling sick at the most inconvenient times, don't they? That's why I took the bold step of opening a mobile massage business. Now, I can provide healing and care to those in need, right from the comfort of their own homes. Not being tied down to a physical location allows me to prioritize what truly matters: the well-being of my clients. Gone are the worries of rent and overhead costs for a studio. Instead, I focus on delivering the highest quality of service possible, because I firmly believe that quality always triumphs over quantity. So, if you're seeking a massage experience that goes beyond the ordinary, look no further. Let me bring the healing touch to you, in the convenience of your own home. Join me on this remarkable journey, where passion and compassion intertwine, and together, we can create a world of wellness and serenity.
    I have worked with a wide range of customers, including individuals seeking relaxation, athletes in need of sports massage, pregnant women requiring prenatal massage, and individuals with chronic pain or specific health conditions. My expertise extends to catering to different needs and preferences.
    If you're looking to hire a professional massage therapist in our area of expertise, I can provide you with some advice to help you make an informed decision. Here are a few key considerations: 1. Research and credentials: Start by researching massage therapists in your area. Look for professionals who are licensed, certified, and have relevant experience in the specific type of massage therapy you're interested in. Check if they have any additional certifications or specialized training that aligns with your needs. 2. Reviews and recommendations: Take the time to read reviews and testimonials from past clients. This can give you insights into the quality of their services, their professionalism, and their ability to meet client expectations. Additionally, seek recommendations from friends, family, or healthcare professionals who may have had positive experiences with local massage therapists. 3. Communication and comfort: It is important to feel comfortable and safe during your massage therapy sessions. Consider reaching out to potential massage therapists and having a conversation with them to discuss your specific needs and ask any questions you may have. Pay attention to their communication style, willingness to listen, and their ability to address your concerns. 4. Specializations and techniques: Different massage therapists may specialize in various techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, sports massage, or prenatal massage. Assess your needs and preferences to find a massage therapist who can effectively address your specific concerns or conditions. 5. Cost and availability: Inquire about the cost of their services and their availability. It's important to find a massage therapist whose pricing aligns with your budget. Additionally, consider the location and the convenience of scheduling appointments based on your availability. 6. Trust and intuition: Trust your instincts when selecting a massage therapist. If you feel a strong connection or a sense of trust with a particular professional, it can contribute to a more positive and effective therapeutic experience. Remember, finding the right massage therapist is a personal decision based on your individual needs and preferences. Taking the time to do thorough research and communicate openly with potential therapists will help ensure a positive experience.
    1. What specific issues or concerns are you experiencing that you hope to address with a massage? 2. Have you had any previous injuries or surgeries that may impact the type of massage you can receive? 3. Are you seeking relaxation and stress relief, pain management, or a combination of both? 4. Are there any specific areas of your body that require extra attention or focus? 5. Do you have any allergies or sensitivities to certain oils or lotions used during massages? 6. Have you had any prior experiences with massage therapy? If so, what techniques or approaches did you find most effective? 7. How frequently are you looking to receive massages and what is your preferred duration for each session? 8. Are there any medical conditions or medications that the massage therapist should be aware of? 9. Are you comfortable with different levels of pressure during the massage, or do you prefer a specific intensity? 10. Do you have any preferences regarding the gender or experience level of the massage therapist? Considering these questions beforehand can help ensure that the customer effectively communicates their needs and expectations to the massage professional, allowing for a more tailored and beneficial experience.
