I attended Kalamazoo College and double-majored in Sociology/Anthropology and Religion before attending massage school. I graduated from the Kalamazoo Center for the Healing Arts in 2006 with a massage certification and have been practicing ever since. I moved to Hawaii after school and performed massage at Spa Hina on the Big Island for two years before returning to the mainland, and also lived in Florida for several years while my children were young. During massage school, I received training in Polarity Therapy, Acupressure, Reflexology, and Muscle Testing. I learned traditional Hawaiian Hot Stone Massage on the Big Island in 2006, and since returning to Michigan have also become certified in Reiki and Deep Barefoot Ashiatsu Massage (2016). In early 2020 I graduated from Bauman College as a Nutritional Consultant with honors. I am excited to integrate this extra element of knowledge, helping my clients to truly heal from the inside out!
I have always been fascinated by the responsiveness of the body's tissues and its ability to self-heal. Each massage or consulting session is tailored individually and works within your comfort level and toward your particular goals. I personally receive massage at least twice a month and have found its influence to be profoundly calming in my life. It is my hope that our time together will put you in a place of healing and leave you feeling soothed, peaceful, and refreshed.
