Originally from Montana, I moved to the Seattle area at age 19 after a car accident that required extensive rehabilitation. I found comfort and support from my peers and instructors at Seattle Massage School as well as great injury treatment and deep tissue work which helped further my recovery and solidified my interest in bodywork. Since graduating in 2000 I have continued my education to include an associates transfer degree in nursing and bodywork modalities such as structural integration, facilitated stretching and neuromuscular reeducation, orthopedic massage, manual lymphatic drainage, advanced injury treatment protocols, craniosacral massage, Lomi Lomi, and Reiki. I use bits and pieces of all these therapies to create a muscle specific deep tissue massage that is both effective and relaxing.
My time away from work is spent furthering my nursing and esthetics education and enjoying time with family and friends.
