I grew up in a family that loves massages. My mom would give my brothers and I back massages from the time we were little. I have a huge Italian-American family and at every family gathering, there was guaranteed to be someone getting something massaged while everyone sat around talking and eating. It wasn't much of a stretch that from there - every job I had would find me giving work friends a shoulder, back or neck massage at some point. It made sense to go to school and actually get licensed to do massage as my profession. So I did. I graduated from Cortiva School of Massage in Pinellas Park, FL in 2009. I've worked in a spa, a massage office, a chiropractic office, done chair massage events and I currently have my own suite in a salon collective space. My style of massage is somewhere between therapeutic and relaxation. I have strong intuition when it comes to finding areas that need to be addressed and knowing what technique and pressure is needed to handle those areas. Massage therapy is second nature to me. I enjoy helping people feel and function better doing the things they love in life and look forward to helping you :)
