Massage is my passion. Mom and daughters dates often included massage.

Since my first massage at Libby's Bathhouse in Hot Springs National Park at the age of 12, I knew I wanted to be a massage therapist. At 17, I broke my back and refused surgery with bone fragments in my spinal cord and a crushed L-1. I did my own physical therapy with my mom and the doctors couldn't explain how I was walking. I had always done Callanetics each morning so we started there. Mom took me to get massages and chiropractic adjustments during my healing process. I also went to an acupuncturist for pain management. We eat nutrient dense foods, which gave me the tools needed and boosted my healing.

I listened to the doctors and stayed home with minimal activity for 9 years. No longer could I wait and enrolled in massage therapy school. I've had less back pain in the last 11 years of practice than when I stayed home as medically advised. 

I enjoy sharing my learnings to help you heal and have a pain free daily life.
