Over 20 years ago I began a personal health journey that led me to become a personal trainer. As I worked with individuals and groups in various settings, I saw so many feel the joy of success. I loved being a part of helping others along their own health journeys, but also saw how the body needs help to be in a pliable state for optimal health.

This created a natural lead into massage therapy.

I returned to school to get an Associate's Degree in Massage Therapy, and then completed the Advanced Therapeutic Certification with extensive clinical experience. This proved to be invaluable in helping many of my clients.

Learning how to be successful in health through fitness, nutrition and massage then lead me to footzoning, where I learned how to assist people in a different way (read more about it here). Shortly after, I journeyed into certifying as a Nutrition Coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

I have been privileged to work closely with Chiropractic Center of Northfield. This has helped me see a variety of clients with a variety of needs and goals, which has given me a lot of experience.

My most current privilege has been working as a lab skills assistant, and now as adjunct faculty in TRI-C's Massage Therapy Program, helping new therapists learn, develop and grow.

 

I am accepting a few more clients,

and am honored to help you in your own health journey. 

 

Massage Philosophy

I believe that our bodies heal best when they aren't in pain. When we are in pain, our bodies are sending us warning signals, and trying to protect us from further damage. In massage, the fastest and most lasting benefits come from therapeutic techniques that are done while putting the body in a position of ease so it may relax, let go of adhesions and tensions, and heal. Whether you are having consistent pain or have tension, your body needs a break and needs the opportunity to heal.​

My purpose is to figure out which therapeutic modalities your body needs and apply them to create a healing environment where your body can reset itself. Because of my background in personal training, being a Licensed Massage Therapist and my education in these advanced techniques:

• Myofascial Release - Barnes
• Deep Tissue
• Cupping - Glide and Static
• Stretch Therapy
• MET
• Positional Release
• Medical Massage
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Orthopedic Massage for tissue balance and scar tissue realignment
• Cryotherapy & Thermotherapy
• Far and Near Infrared Light Therapy

I have the tools to facilitate you and your body to feel better and get better.
