I never imagined I'd become a Massage Therapist. I didn't spend much time thinking about the future or mapping out my career; I just wanted to get out of the small town I grew up in - but knew I needed to have some sort of direction. So, on a whim, I enrolled in a Massage Therapy program at a medical tech school across the country in Phoenix, AZ.

It was only after starting classes that I realized how much massage resonated with me. What began as a spontaneous decision grew into a deep passion through education and hands-on training. Now, over two decades later, I can't imagine being anything else.

A little background:

As a graduate of The Bryman School of Phoenix 2005, I received more training hours and education credits than the state of Maryland requires, earning me the title of Licensed Massage Therapist. This advanced training means I graduated with certifications in more modalities than most standard programs offer, including:

• Swedish

• Deep Tissue

• Trigger Point Therapy

• Basic Reflexology

• Sports Massage

• Myofascial Release

• Prenatal Massage

• Lymphatic Drainage

Additionally, I’ve pursued continuing education to earn certifications in:

• Hot Stone Massage

• Cupping Therapy

• Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques

• Upledger CranioSacral Therapy

• Lomi Lomi (a traditional Hawaiian healing practice -which is special to me because I received my training while living on Maui)

I have worked in every setting imaginable; from wellness centers to chiropractic offices, local day salons to a Forbes Five Star luxury spa in Hawaii. Having such a comprehensive experience has made my massage practice very well rounded, giving it a versatility that is unmatched by any other.

Why you should schedule a massage with me:

By integrating all the modalities I have mastered over the years, I am able to provide each client with a massage experience that is uniquely tailored to their individual needs. My approach centers on attentively listening - to my clients as well as the subtle cues their bodies give during the session. I believe that nothing should be forced during a massage; instead, I work collaboratively with you and your body to achieve the goals and desired outcome that we set at the beginning of each session. This method ensures a meaningful and effective experience, leaving you feeling heard, cared for, and better than you did before you arrived at the massage table.
